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..
 
 
Thanks,
Art

Hi Art,
 
I heard an awful rumor today that you are retiring?  Tell us it isn't so!
 
Cheers

Art, I'm flabbergasted, envious and enormously happy for you all at the same time! I'm flabbergasted because I cannot imagine who will ever fill your shoes....
