Hi Michael, Just to add my two cents to this plug-in discussion… I understand your sentiments and believe that there is a good market for for powerful, unviversal tools. It would certainly be interesting to see an "Optics Lab" or "Particle GOD" plug-in but let's not let our enthusiasm for the super plug-ins blind us to the value of the single function plug-ins. I for one am some one who likes to buy my tools one at a time. Whether its wood working, art supplies, or software I look for an efficient, elegant, and well crafted tool that does the job exceptionally well. Its the difference between using a fine Japanese dovetailing saw versus using the Sears multi-template router jig. I have both and I would sorely miss either one if they weren't available. So my feeling is that we need all the plug-ins we can get. Bring on the super-universal plug-in application suites but let's also support those single function plug-ins that just might just do one small thing better than the others. I want both. Steven
