Fw: Re: Grand Designs tonight touchscreens.....

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thats the kind of thing I was thinking of :)

so you can have 4 mice in at the same time then??!!

time to look at mainlobby again i guess!!  hmmmm wasnt overly fond of
it first time round media wise, im kinda looking for the MCE
approach......so instead of having 4 mainlobby windows on the server,
could you do it with just one, just split four timees??

Thanks
Noel
