Thank you for your concern inquire. Unfortunately there are simply not enough ours in the day for me to take any rest until the end of March, when Reality 3 for Poser will be released. But that's OK. I can do it. Every now and then I need to vent a bit :) but it's not too bad. I do work a little less during the weekends but the last push is needed because there is still a bunch of things to do. Of course if everybody was using Mac OS at 64 bit it would make my life a lot easier :) In that way I would not have to spend a few days cursing  the %$@# out of the Microsoft C++ compiler ;) But no, people still insist on using Windows. Damn! ;)

When I was involved in Web development everything was perfect until you had to make the site able to run inside a MS browser. At that point, perfectly legal, verified, adherent to Web standards code that ran inside Firefox, Chrome and Safari would simply stop working inside IE. I would spend days finding "work arounds" for perfectly good code just because MS cannot make a decent browser. The same is generally true for C++. Perfectly good C++ code that has been compiling and running using either the GNU compiler or the latest compiler from Apple (clang) would simply not compile using MS Visual C++. 

I should bill them for weeks of lost time. Weeks! 

OK, I will stop ranting now. Thank you for the "therapy" ;)
