I have seen some of Mason's work and it is amazing. The issue of just deleting characters, it is possible but how often do you tell an artist "We are out of blue so don't use blue in your landscapes." Curious Labs would be well advised to put out a memory fix, but I have a feeling that could mess up a lot of other stuff. As for Vue 5, I think it is a pain to go back and forth between applications a lot, particularly if both are memory/CPU intensive. I am very intersted in DS but do not like how the Magents of Wyrmmater will not work in it.
