I really like this idea. I really, really, like it.
Can you guys provide me with more details on exactly what you envision?
I'll get my G4 loaded and setup!. I am excited. This is a welcome break from
my day-job coding.
I'll feel like I could do this in java also. Hmm, so java or Objective-C?
Can you use Objective-C on Windows (obviously the API calls would be
different)?
About implementing such an app. Can you give me our thoughts on how it would
get its data to analyze and work with? I can see maybe a little local
database running. Would it read your mBoxes from your e-mail client, etc to
get the data?
I appreciate the help getting started.
