Re: XSI 5.11 Announced

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

To be fair,

maybe we should just wait a couple of days. Not until Siggraph
but a couple of days, so that the guys have time to come up
with something, either the Fnd 5.11 compatibility upgrade,
an official roadmap, a pricetag or maybe just the files
they couldnÂt get done before the weekend.

In terms of logic, itÂs too early to make an assumption.

To make my point clear, whatever software I use,
I like to have things as consistent as possible.

IÂm a messy by nature myself allready :-)

Cheers

tim
