[FRIAM] Peltarion Synapse (fyi)

[Jim Rutt]

Looks right slick!  I assume the "time lagged recurrent networks" are the 
same as Elman Networks?  I'm using a home-brew implementation of them for 
some work on language acquisition.  I've looked at various neural net tools 
(NeuroSolutions, Ward, MATLAB) I have yet to find such a tool kit that I 
find useful enough to stop "rolling my own" adaptive software, but this one 
looks like it has potential.

And I know many here will groan, but I'm GLAD it's a done in .net ... .net 
2 is actually quite good, and leaves java and java-isms pretty much in the 
dust in terms of developer productivity.
