Jonathan, Until it's released, it isn't a buyable product. To me, that makes it vapor. You can call it whatever you want, you just can't call it "yours". That's my point. Regarding scaling, didn't see it – so can't comment. There may be other issues. As a for instance, our scaling can scale up AND down at the same time, something that distinguishes it from the scaling in AdPro – and possibly from Mirage. Scaling quality may also be an issue. Dunno – when and if it's released, we, and you, will know. And of course, whatever they do, we'll do our best to do better. Competition is just fine with us. We welcome them to the market (when they get there). I'm sure Mirage is "real" (unless it's a mirage?), but that doesn't mean it'll make it to a "product". Long, long way between what you saw at WOA and a product. I know Kermit a bit (he is a HAM-E customer, and the feature-list for for Mirage reads exactly like a clone of Image Professional / Imagemaster, which we take as quite a complement :^)… anyway, he is a nice enough fellow and seemed to be quite responsible and so on for what dealings we had with him. GVP is of course also a pretty good company. Not saying anything else – except, not released, not something you can buy – and there you go. EGS: again, when it's out, we'll think about it – that's all I can tell you now; we're just not an organization that spends time on other peoples "maybe" products. When and if it appears, we'll give it a good hard look, and go from there. If CBM released DIG before this comes out, then not a chance… issues like that can throw predictions out the window, hence I prefer not to waste time trying to make them. Let me point at the SAGE stuff as an example. When it came out, we had it supported within days. Previous to that, we ignored it. Digital Micronics used Imagemaster to demo SAGE the first time it was shown in public, at the Canadian WOA show last year. Likely we'll do EGS the same way, assuming CBM doesn't intervene. Now, consider the Supra FAXmodem. We said [ MORE ]
