When Chinny was around no one here were in doubt what was going on at
Softimage and who was in charge - he was very vocal and made sure we were
in the loop regarding development (as far as was possible outside the
company). Nowadays, we don't even know who is in charge, excepth because

This IS ridicules...what a mess!!
And yes...this hand full of fixes over the past two years were not worth
1800 Euro. There would be so many things that need an upgrade...

@Matt: I think Soft was sold to MS for a lot less than 300. Tempted to say
less than half that. Mostly I remember MS making a good profit, and I was

scratched close to 300M I think.
