Glad to hear you are still with us. The PowerDials sound interesting (and complicated ;-)). The Python Manager sound like something I might kill for.... An update for the particles would be dearly appreciated, but I do understand the constraints of time and ambition. Will try to do something cool with Particles and either win a contest of get lots of people to see it in the gallery... maybe can drum up some business and boost your ambitions ;-) best, e.d.
