I seem to recall we discussed several issues you might tackle a few 
weeks ago. You suggested generating a warning whenever the warehouse 
would overflow in the next turn. That seems easy to do. Why don't you 
try? If you know your way around Swing, you might also try to clean up 
some of the dialogs, reports, etc. There is still a lot of room for 
improvement in this area. I'm not sure what exactly being a "mentor" 
implies, but I'm always willing to answer questions about the code to 
the best of my knowledge.
