"Slow to learn, aren't they. This is getting to be like a proper romp in the Dragonjaws, it is! I'll have to get my minstrel to write a ballad about this...

        []Changes: Uses Goon's Library proprietary overhauling functionality to deliver the most optimised and robust end user experience. (Yeah I just need to write up all that I'm doing with interrupts somewhere and link to it, it's good though.)[/]
