Hi Marris:
LOL , I just read the rumour, ( deleting the message still leaves it on many of our inboxes ) ,
so just so people do know without any rumour, and with your permission to put this message here..
I will be retiring on Jan1 / 2008 to follow my nose and explore the many interesting things Ive learned and have seen since I started 6 years ago to write a program for myself to use in artistic expression. :)
ArtSoft will continue with new proprieters , users will be well taken care of, and while Im retiring
from all this, Ill still be around, only now I can bitch as a user, not a developer. This has been in planning for almost a year, so Im pretty sure of the successfull continuance of ArtSoft and that everyone will be very well taken care of.
I suspect other developers can understand how draining the years have been, and now , with
over 10,000 users, Mach3 has become a standard.. and a demanding mistress. Something that needs a periodic infusion of fresh ideas, and youthfull enthusiasm to continue its path. There is a post on the Mach3 group explaining my going away, so I wont bog Mariss's bandwidth, other than to
say its been a great experience doing all this, and Im proud to have left my mark on an industry
just leaving its infancy I think, and learning from the Guru's like Mariss has been a joy..
But Ill still be seen poking my nose in and occasionally donating some plugin or code to
all the other users..like myself.. :) ..now that Ill actually have time to myself.. wow, thatll be weird..
back to being a basement mad scientist..
