hi, ethen
you almost make that sound like a bad thing (trying to reverse
the kazaa app) and while gift did change their focus i think it
was due more to frustration over not being able to understand
the mechanisms behind the updated software (i'm sure this was
a dissapointment and major setback for them) I look forward
to their new independent project and wish them much success
with it.
To answer you briefly as to why not make my own p2p app?
I do not think i am talented enough or have the necessary
specific skills (e.g., programming understanding networks
especially packet based and how they work, encryption/decrption
etcetera, etcetera)
so i do what all good "programmers" people do...I piggyback "much like ALTnet" on the back of kazaa
or rather I take an already existing idea and try to make it better
and TRUE very TRUE kazaalite is GREAT i do not give Shaun
enough credit (i think he and "yuri" are one in the same) His websites (the one shutdown that contained the info i needed on Xml "skinning" for windows XP and the kazaalite app....darn that Sharman") and his new site the tk one with the "nuke" was a great idea. I won't say much more about it except that i admire him and his site.
i can't remember the exact quote i wanted to make but i'll try to give you something anyway ...here goes:
shoot i can't remember...maybe tomorrow i will have a "snappy" comeback for you but tonight i am tired and in need of rest (deserved or not....i need some)
p.s. thanks for implying that i have skills or talents that was nice.
