Wow , Thanks for all the work on all these instructions. I will start
doing them and ask questions about everything I bounce off of as I go
along.  Hopefully that will speed things up.

First question :
Do I need to get an iPad?  I think I can rent one.
Do I need a Mac? I can rent it.  I have a Windows XP Pro PC.
There seems to be an iOS emulator in your instructions.  So maybe I
don't need an iPad or iMac?  I'll get them if it will help.

Are there any books I can look at? spec pages?  I have access to 24x7
via our Seattle library.  I'll search for "Open/GL ES".

( I like the VM.  I was/am making a virtual one inside of picoLARC on
sourceforge.net .  I am interested to know about it. )
