Great news! I hopefully get the finished basic objects section online today!
If anyone
has suggestions how to improve that, he's welcome to do that! I only think,
that I've done something wrong with the pictures (screenshots) I made. Is it
ok to have 320x240 with 72 dpi? Idon't know how to change that!

Great idea! My harddrive is even now getting mor confused! ;-)

Of course it is!

I'm already searching for a new section, but Idon't know what! Hmm...

Nothing for me, sorry.

Oh, cool! I think I will do this! Only converting to XML or?

Hopefully soon!!! I can't wait for that!

I think this were too good news! I can't find any words for that!

Great idea!
