	I was just surprised by my mail the other day, when a *FREE* update
to animate-3d came in!!!  FREE, I almost fell over dead with disbelief.
They do ask for a voluntary $10 donation to help defray their costs,
and I'll probably pay it, but that was the 1st update/ notice of an
update I've gotten for any of my software.  Nice Job.

	They also announced some new products like a professional animate-3d
which was pricey at $500+ and drivers for controlling a vcr for frame
recording.

-------------- NEW SUBJECT -------------------------------------------

	Now that Tandy plans on selling it's writable CD's in formats for
music and movies, how long before we have software that can take
frames from my favorite ray-tracer and put them out in sequence to
a movie disk for later playback on a disk player.  I can't even begin
to think about the possibilities that will be open to me once that
is possible.  As for the musician in me, I would love to use my
Amy for home recording onto a CD.  Things like this could really
revolutionize certain industries.

	Any comments/ ideas?
