Mostly hiding, lurking, learning, and a well done.

Although I don't actually use Portable .NET for anything, I'm  
impressed with the quality and consistency of the code, including the  
steady pace of development. I was originally just lurking here  
because I like the idea of compiling C# code to pure native machine  
code executables. I'd settled on Portable .NET for my project after  
evaluating gcc and others, gcc seemed messy, and others too slap-dash  
for my liking.

Now I'm not as keen on my project, yet i'm still fond of the  
Portable .NET project, as such I don't mind helping out now 'n'  
again, building and testing for the Mac (diversity inspires surely),  
though I must point out my heart lies with Linux. My first  
experiences of which were early 1999, windowless at home since around  
2000, yet there's no gusts of wind, not one single draft. Anyway who  
knows what the future will hold - that Pistachio micro-kernel looks  
promising.

For 8 years I was a C++ developer of a Windows CAD/CAM software suite  
- enough to learn win32 development like the back of my hand - gladly  
no longer though still trying to forget.

Anyway, hi project contributors, well done and keep up the good work.
