Certainly a top candidate, but I still don't see Animation Quest fitting into the strategic scheme of things as well as "Inspire" does. Dan Farr used corporate speak and biggest thing since breaking away from Zygote in his email and posts- and I don't think Animation Quest fits into that as well. Certainly being "partners" is a good thing and they are well related, but not "strategic". Obviously I could be totally wrong, but the more I think about the "Inspire" angle, the more I see it as a PERFECT fit for all concerned, and it would really make DAZ a significantly more important and better positioned company for the future. With e-frontier buying Poser and their plans to develope their own content, with multi-level Shade software, etc. A strategic relationship with NewTek is CRUCIAL for DAZ's longer range survival. And passing Inspire over to DAZ would do Lightwave a huge amount of good in creating a much bigger installed base with UPGRADE path. It all just makes too much good sense to me!
