However I know that these things will fade and I will need something else to take the place. Usually what has worked for me in the past was to set milestones. These will act as roots, keeping me interested in being involved. After all in words better than mines.<br /><blockquote><i>We all “scratch our own itches”.

We have managed to test it in Windows and Linux environments. We would still appreciate testing on all environments. However none of us have a shiny Mac to try this on. So if you have a Mac please consider testing the following:</span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><br />
