Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Freeing Memory

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

Well, I learned disillusionment from a master.  I remember a certain
disillusioned Pascal that went off to create Dynacore.  Your still here.
I'm not going anywhere. And a lot of the passion that drove you to leave and
get it "done" proved right in the end.

Everything is a journey.  I just want to kick a rock and start a new path in
motion.  The bricks of this API are the building blocks and it's a bit
premature to discuss architectual relevance at this point (this is a
metaphor Richard).
