ok, so lets put a few more cards on the table here. does anyone in their right mind think that if the final decision had been made as to exactly what was happening with B6 that drawing it out into the open and stating that bt will close would have any effect? this is not a 'pi&$(**' contest, no lines are drawn in the sand..and its not a test to see who will blink first. the simple fact is, corel is on the fence here. They are very much leaning to the dropping of earlier os' support...but, one can easily guess that they are unsure about exactly what to do. My hope is that by splashing a little cold water around, they will release 6 with current os support. in the same breath, if corel doesnt then what better time would there be for me to get out of being a corel evangelist? 40-60% of users affected...I wouldnt upgrade, thus making me 'behind the times' and not 'the' site anymore. Simply put, now would be the time. now would be the time it would have the least effect, even then it would/will be a big one. as for over-reacting...Ive been thinking about this for a very long time. Do you honestly think that even saying anything about it was an easy choice? come on, do you know what I did, what I'm responsible for now, by revealing this at all? Do you honestly think that I want to stop bt.com? Brycetech.com has taken on a life of its own. Far more than I or debbie ever remotely had an idea it would. this is NOTHING SHORT of the same thing as a divorce! Very stressful...hard to imagine not 'brycing' daily. Hard to imagine being separated from something that has been such a big part of my life for so long. part of my every day is spent answering emails...again, very simply---I love it. I mean, interacting with so many talented people, helping with a project, introducing students to 3d graphics, sending them to other sources for further info---how could I not love that? shrug so dont think this is over-reacting over-reacting would be to close it today. oh, the site's tutorials are already fully downloadable in pdf version (arent they? if one is missing let me know and I'll add it).
