No problem ;)

Actually, it's just going to be an experiment to compare the two and see
which one is faster. (And also personal taste, I must admit - I'm still
drawn to using a mouse when entering data on Windows apps, even though I
know I can use the tab/cursor keys etc.)

When I've actually coded something, I might get back to you guys ;)

Also, it obviously is a good test of the modularity of the code, but I
could perform the same test with a web interface.

Thanks,
Reinier
