They fired all the people who might be able to help with support or bug fixes. Giving money to lawyers is only pouring good money after bad (mabey bad after bad?). I figure that MC goes by the "Golden Rule" so I will treat them as they treat me, no support, no usage or promotion of MetaStream. That's the key. The graphics community at large is the one to impliment & therefore promote their product (talk about biteing the hand that feeds you!). If they (us) don't choose to use their product for our websites and Metastream goes nowhere then whose fault is that? Better to get several web-publishers & agencies together and have them ask the Chairman of the Board at MC if they plan on supporting Metastream as well as they supported their here-to-for flagship app, Carrara. The answer (in actions) will determin acceptance.
