heya; well, i think they're NUTS. they're gonna chuck painter, poser, bryce, ray dream, kai's power everything -- a significant portion of the major graphics apps -- and for what? to become meta-commerce? what are they gonna sell with metastream, now that they don't have any 3d (or anything else graphical) apps? i dunno. and good luck to 'em, but i'm not going to invest in their company, now.
