Actually, I was referring to the programming of Dave Koski and Garrick  
Toubassi.  These guys are *good* and VirtSpace really shows it.  The  
auto-scrolling feature is incredibly slick.  No, it isn't a new idea but it  
showed some really creative thinking in the way they pulled it off.

So, in summary - Dave and Garrick, good.  VirtSpace, cool.  Auto-Scrolling,  
slick.  VirtSpace3.0, coming soon.........
