Hi Folks! One of my current co-workers is an ex-Specular/MetaC employee, so scott's comment resonates with me. At the same time, I hope the Meta graphics line ends up in the hands of a fresh new company with cash, creativity, innovation, and humanity, rather than in the hands of another industry giant. Adobe is already overextended, Apple needs to focus on its own core strategies, NewTek is just fine as it is, and Microsoft--well, never mind. Peter (Dr Zik)
