After the way we (users) were treated, I'm not sure I could trust any company to market a useful version of Smartcam. Before I buy back into it, there would need to be a major revision with many enhancements. If all they do is re-market V11 then it isn't worth a pound of rat @#$#. The competition has lapped smartcam many times over since any programmer looked at the code. There are still some things that smartcam does easier than the others, but there are things it never did, or never did well. If EDS were to develop Smartcam into a viable product it probably would be in name only.
