Hi Rachel

 Thank you and is great  to know that we can post questions in this list.

People were telling me, that openframeworks is the C++ reduction software as
processing is to Java.

 I was wondering if they are the same thing or if one is more stronger  that
the other when there is media/interface projects involve? would memory be an
issue here?
any thoughts? How can you tell?

 I will try it to test it.
