Hi Hell, I love typing that - it just seems do decedent :] As to keeping things for a long time - I understand what you mean - I think most artist's are tactile-beings. To add to that, that Printed version of the magazine was very sensual - It was a visual delight, the paper felt "rich," the ink smelled expensive, it was something to be devoured, and savored; That was just the first impression, before even turning to the first page. The magazine team has worked very hard to make improvements with each printed issue, and with each issue the quality has only gone up. Yet, I have faith in this new venture, and the same amazing magazine team that will continue to strive for excellence! As to the new direction of the magazine: it is not being produced for profit - nor to satisfy the publisher's whim [as mentioned in the previous posting], but instead the magazine will continue to be produced for the enjoyment of Artists. The Renderosity Magazine and the new Renderosity Interactive Magazine is after all, created by artists, all members of the Renderosity community, with a strong devotion to the Renderosity community. Our main goal is to produce a high quality magazine, that has been and will be enjoyed by our past, present, and future readers. We care - we put our names, our talent, our time, and our unconditional dedication and devotion into the magazine. It is our labor of love, and we will do everything we can to meet the high expectations of our readers. Dee-Marie
