Well, down the hall. But at the time, there was no idea that Ant was going
to be big. I hoped that people would like it, but I had no idea that people
were going to jump all over it. I'm happy about that :)

As far as moving moo with ant, no I don't think we should do that. I'm not
sure what the right answer is, but ant is more general purpose than moo.
