*nods* It still has a few bugs. One, for instance, when it's downloading
message board messages or headers, it effectively freezes all Artifact windows
until it's done. However, I've so far found it useful enough to encourage me
to pick up another coding language. Some of the biggest drawbacks to me for
such things are human assistance and resources. Sure, there are books, but
they tend to be pricey and not always cover the things you want - and often
enough use language which dissuades you. 'REBOL for Dummies' gets me some
times, partially because I don't know where to start (I started learning REBOL
before I got the book), I don't necessarily know where to look, it doesn't have
everything I'm looking for... *shrugs* Artifact should be a help.
