Hey, this is Sean. Quick personal intro before I give my $.02.
I recently graduated from San Diego State in May.  For about 6 months prior 
to that I was an intern at a small software company in San Diego, where Greg 
was my boss.  He taught me java from the ground up.  I only knew some basic 
concepts and syntax before meeting him.  (if I screw up, Greg is to blame 
j/k :))  Java is my favorite language to code in.

I'm currently a developer working for Computer Associates in the Seattle 
area.  My group develops the Advanced Help Desk option for the TNG Unicenter 
Suite.  (almost as big and just as bad as our neighbor in Redmond, WA) I 
probably spend about 1/2 my job working on java stuff now.  The rest is a 
mix of everything from HTML to proprietary scripting languages.  I am a huge 
Linux/Free Unix enthusiast and constantly find new uses for those OSes.  
(BSD makes a much nicer firewall IMHO).  If anyone needs a secondary DNS or 
just Linux help, I'll be glad to help.  My website is http://yunt.net

Back to Tapper:
If distributing an executable binary is really important, why can't we just 
compile Tapper for a handful of platforms?  It might even make it faster :()

Also, ant is a really cool tool and it's working great with the this 
project.  Is there some actual instructional documentation?  The jakarta-ant 
site left a whole lot to be desired.  I'd like to learn the tool better and 
use on some other projects.

Weekend is near, so hopefully I'll be get off my arse and write some code.  
I have Greg's latest ideas for the playing grid and frets.
