Well, it appears that our list is a kind and understanding whorewho will take it
from anyone.  This is usefull.

Pity hats can't be transmitted over IRC in a transparent manner.  Perhapsthout
should  be the next great freeware projects, OpenHats.

Hehehe, well I'm the one who's inline trigger happy.  Actually one nice thingis
that PSX uses GCC, so you know that inline exists in C.  The problem is,
(as the naysayer on the GGI list mentioned),  that you  need to do a lot of
game specific tweaking to get things to fit into a platform like the PlayStation.

Then there are the legal/commericial issues.

Still, finding ways around these problems might be something we could discuss
at meeting with the commercials. + some  kind of sound server to do mixing etc.

I think we should pronounce it dead, and recruit a new one.
