To cut a long story short for those who don't know, I got the name Sumea from an old Amiga demo from over 10 years ago. I registered and started developing the site in 2000. Sumea.com at that time was taken by these 3d java applet developers who had 2 demos on show. My impression of the site then was that it was some hobby site to show that Java could do 3d. I mean, I remember visiting the site a year later and there weren't any updates and those 2 demos were still there. [:)] Sumea.com.au goes up for 2 years or so when Sumea.com announces they're doing some stuff with mobile phones, handheld games and whatnot.
