OK, so my question is, which programmers use the OmniGo SDK?
I know Ray Schuler doesn't, what about Nathan Fielder, Jon Frisby, etc?
PS -- When I rtyed to order the SDK v2.1, I got an answering machine, which said to leave the
usual info, and they would get back to me. That was two weeks ago, and no call.
Anyone know of a better way to order??
