Amiga, mainly.  Geos helped somewhat.  We're using something a little simpler and
hopefully more expandible than either, though.

The really cool part, of course, is how we're going to *use* those components to
build a no-kernel system.  That's something this one guy helped us with...  Let's
see, what was his name?  I can't seem to remember.

Oh, yeah!  That was it.  How'd you know?  ;-)

Seriously, I'm very happy about the no-kernel idea.  I hope it works as well as it
sounds.
