The leading edge artistically, or the leading edge technically? -- which are not at all the same thing.

Hi all
sorry for the late reply...
Thanks, this really fit the glove.
One other question: What are your opinions on the
tools, you use? I mean, what are the pro and cons of
Java, Max, Processing, etc... 
I'm asking not in the low level/high level sense, but
I want to see where the leading edge is being worked
at

Thanks again
Jensen
