     Ok, my bad.  I thought it was understood the SDL client was still an 
early prototype.  It should be labeled as such certainly.  I was trying 
to semi-humorously explain that it takes people time to develop this 
stuff and I bristle when people make general negative statements as to 
the availability of feature X Y or compatibility with Z.  It hasn't been 
that long since we even had a Win32 client or support for MacOS and 
these things don't just pop out of a penguin's butt - it took someone's 
time to make them happen...
