Uh, no, that would be terrible garbled quoting, probably from my part. 
But isn't this part of the "flashback" problem that has appeared?

As for floatingpoint not working, this problem has been resolved WAAAY
long time ago, and I just (a few minutes ago) made a rootdisk for the
Agenda VR3 with Ruby 1.6.5 on it. :-)

.... now I just have to port my scripts to using XMLParser instead of
NQXML so that I have more than a snowballs chance in heck of it
completing parsing this century.

Oh, while we're on the Ruby-PDA subject: Are there any tips or "gotchas"
about memory usage? My scripts keep eating up all the memory of the PDA
in a short while, which eventually virtually "lock" it up. 

One nice thing would be able to put a "ceiling" on memory usage, so I
can get an Exception instead of forcing the user to reboot the PDA. (Or
atleast intercept and warn the user of the "impending doom", and save
their work. )

Any ideas?
