Scott's legacy

[cteno4]

I gotta chime in and say Scott rocks also. Same rapid resolution of tech 
glitches from him as others have pointed out. He also saved my butt 
recently in a license snafu with a client breathing down my neck on 
deadline. I have NEVER had any other company come close to what Scott has 
done for me (and what ive seen hes done for others on the list), and I 
have been working with multimedia software since 1985.

I really hope Scott can make more money and have a gentler life with this 
deal. If anyone i know in the biz DESERVES it, its Scott.

I know many folks are getting upset that things are changing, but if you 
cant stand change, then you shouldnt be in this business, its full of 
change. Its the nature of the beast. Over the years i have migrated 
through all the xtalk products and kept myself viable through them all. I 
have had multimedia cdroms that Apple and other big distributes have sold 
and survived having to switch authoring systems and abandon old 
code/systems and rebuild in the latest and greatest... Nothing is static 
or forever in a business like this, so you have to build it into your 
business plan that things will change on you. If you dont you'll have big 
trouble in the biz.

sorry if my opinion is a bit harsh in its delivery, but I think it is 
something we should all (in the biz) talk about openly as something we 
just have to deal with, and share strategies to deal with it.

Again, I just want to give Scott all the kudos in the world for his work 
on Metacard and I doubt he will be abandoning us all, but i expect being 
able to focus more on what he really excels at and also (i hope) enjoying 
life more and maybe having a few more $$ in his pocket to do that and i 
dont begrudge him any of it!

thanks Scott!

cheers,

jeff
