3D in Revolution Needs Your Help

[viktoras d.]

Hi Lynn,

For some reason my messages bounce from the use-revolution server. 
Trying again...

Err, I was in that list too, but now, pressed to the limit by 
consequences of the economical crisis, I moved from one country to 
another which does not happen too frequently in ones life. Will be 
paying as soon as I am able to do this... B.t.w. I tried to register 
with the system and submit the bugs, but later it won't let  me in with 
my user name and password, so there are things that does not work as 
expected. I also think it is worth considering Bryan's suggestion of 
lowering the price tag - this would attract more than just 15 "of us".

All the best!
Vik
