That aside, I'd still like to see a bigger gray depth implemented on future devices, as there are lots of other "image content" forms that would benefit from this. I hope you will provide us the chance to acquire original, limited edition art work at a reasonable price before you become fabulously rich and famous (and your work even more so....) |

Regarding "originals," I do all my work in electronic form, mostly with 3D software that renders to a 2D sketch form. I'm not sure what would constitute an "original" of such a work. But thanks for the compliment, anyway. |

Software vendors have this problem too... which is why usually why then announce a new version they say from this point out if you buy the current version you get a free upgrade to the new version. So people don't stop buying the current version. BOb |

Anyone remember the "Osbourne 1"? It was one of the very first "portable" (read "small suitcase sized") computers and was extremely popular in its time. The company made the absolutely catastrophic mistake of pre-announcing the launch of a much improved "Osbourse 2" - sales of the current machine completely dried up and the company folded as a result. It's one of the classic "don't do this" lessons of the computer industry.

But it's an urban legend. The company died as a result of mismanagement.

Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
