+This is code for a Java based server to send a series of predefined messages back and forth before shutting down. The comments will contain sort of beginning how this works comments to help people from the class understand the code.

+The code is a little choppy currently as this was written with limited knowledge of Java and pretty much straight from the Java documentation. The next step is to either get this to send user defined messages or to send midi notes back and forth. Hopefully a it stands the client/server code should be able to become a base for both the Jello and Orka projects.
