- Let's examine some synchronous events: Microsoft (continues) work
- on Windows XXX; Steve Ferguson and Allen Hastings work on the ports of
- Lightwave, add new features, and maintain support for users and special betas,
- like Amblin and Foundation.
- Meanwhile, people with nothing evidently better to do, like
- develop an amazing 3d software program, complain about the release date
- of a package (dependant on the development of MS's code, mind you - if I
- were a developer, I'd wait until windows XYZ was nearly solid(!) so my
- product will be compatible with it) which is apparently 5 mos busy into
- porting and upgrading, on three platforms.
- I think that if it is enthusiasm for Lightwave PC these people
- are expressing, they should translate it into positive support for Newtek
- and these two creative fellows, instead of complaining on like throngs of
- consumers.
- Unless, of course, you think you *are* throngs of consumers.
