However true that Toga is very little change from Fruit and it should not be
seen as it's own engine I see no reason to talk down to Thomas having some fun
either (not saying you are).  Making some changes and watching the results is a
lot of fun, why else would there be soo many CM personality's.  I don't know
what happened with Toga first coming out as that was during the 5 month time I
was away from CCC in the last 3 years but I know something bad happened because
some people hated Toga and some loved it and I had no clue what it was when I
popped back into CCC.
