it hasn't officially been stated that the ourmx project has been abandoned, but for all intents and purposes it has gone 'stale', its future unknown...
considering how it was built however i think it needs to be started again from scratch with 'cross-platform' forefront in its design as many a mxer uses linux these days..
..ourmx was built in MSVC with windows xp as its primary target..
and ghostship? i don't think it was the vax that got em.. admittedly, i think a heated disagreement between he and i caused him to call it quits (never stopped him before, but, oops?)... but he has called it quits on all forums it seems, and MSN messenger no longer exists to find him there.. he also always claimed to not have an email address of any kind, so no way of contacting him that way either...
honestly, it would be nice to know if he does indeed still live considering how many in the various chatrooms have gone to visit saint peter..
