Sorry, still no download I actually haven't worked on this at all in weeks, but I've had a lot to do ("homework," redoing my entire site, random little calculator projects (which all failed), etc.).

But now it's spring break, and seeing how everyone's picking up their projects again, guess I'll do the same. Hopefully I can get something done on this this week. It needs some huge revamping, that's for sure.
