Reply to Attention Mods; Missing Wall???? in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

An interesting thread indeed! Greetings to so many that I have missed. I would like to clarify why I left WC for those that care to know. The moderation people certainly had nothing to do with it, in fact, they are all excellent folks doing a often thankless job. Jafo , in fact, came to be a friend (at least from my point of view ) and was always helpful as were many others. The rating system has on

The bandwidth issue as noted by Jafo makes perfect business sense to me and I accept it for what it is and appreciate the clarity of Paul's statement. The drive by rating shooters are another matter altogether and one that unfortunately just seems to go with the territory .

Rating System Uses in Community WinCustomize Forums

I hope that this is not viewed as our usual monthly rant about the rating system. It is what it is, fairer than some, less fair than others. No rating system is perfect and this one does give the community the opportunity to state its opinion. I do not understand however, what the site then does with the ratings.

I now fondly remember carrying a case of adapters and working forever to get Compuserve connections in Europe and Asia in various hotels around the globe.

The snake shot is incredible. A wee bit more than hazardous duty pay would be required! I would need treatment for the nightmares that would surely develop!

Reply to In memory of September 11th in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I remember watching it as it actually happened. I could not believe what I was seeing and then the second plane hit. I will never forget the feeling I had at that moment. I knew the world, and my life, and the lives of all of us had changed forever. How can that ever be forgotten? It can't!

Reply to Bryce versus Vue in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

Having been intimately involved in the development of Vue over the last couple of years, I am certainly a devotee of this product over Bryce. However, Bryce was my intro to 3D art and I am very familiar with this product as well. I remember at that point that Bryce was the leader in entry level 3d, way ahead of Vue. Unfortunately, Bryce was not developed by its owners in conjunction with the changes in the PC market as memory and CPU power and open GL technology dramatically grew in availabili
