Well well, so really most swiss artists are in U.S. catching some sun on the beach and spending their
money made out of their chocolate empire....

Imagine you where all here in little Switzerland, no movie gets made in Hollywood anymore, *g*.
So, US-Studios, whenever you need new employees you can ask me, I am sure I find plenty of
artists working in watch manufactures waiting just to get on the beach ;)

Thanks a lot for all the live in this thread. The member count is increasing :)

That settles it then. Daniel, we're going to call you Raffaele from now on. In fact, all XSI users from Switzerland are now called Raffaele.
Consider this an eviction notice, Mr. Fragapane, as you are from Italy and must leave your name within 30 days.

Jaco Fragapane sounds pretty cool.


Funny how the Soft connection to Switzerland, I was born in Geneva (Suisse).
But back then calculators were the big item, and SoftImage was not a word 
you could google.

The "other" Raffaele (in NYC, not at PLF or in Australia).
OK I'm done. 
Brad... it was funny to me.
