Hehn. You spend all day find bugs in an OS that has a time time running in the
first place. Real fun. "Gee -- it just PANICed for the 85th time today! I
wonder if that's due to a SCSI bug (that I'm interested in) or just because it
PANICs a lot anyways..."
The early stages of OS development is a barrel of fun. Trust me. <sigh>

Its all pie in the sky, golly-gosh-something-like-this-might-work stuff. The
basic idea is/was to have an intelligent JAVA client which builds and maintains
a local DB of meshes and textures. The server then merely details a mesh
position and its relevant texture (via unique names for each) to have the
client paint it approriately (ignoring lighting and all the other fun details).
Updating the client would be a whenever the client hit an unknown object, or
during any periods the pipe isn't full.
