And your point is ... ??? Should everyone on this list who's working for a company that is involved in a certain speciality field stop commenting on the solutions proposed by people working for other companies? This style of attack is called sophism, and it is total crap for the educated crowd. Attacking someone based on who he works for and what he does has nothing to do with actually presenting a case against his arguments. The personal experiences I've stated before have happened. Lest you suggest that those of us who have had bad experiences with certain pieces of technology should shut-up and not voice our complaints for fear of offending someone out there? Sorry, I don't live in Disneyland. If you're not interested in hard-rt, that's you're business. Others on this list have expressed interest in the past for this, and you are welcome to ignore any traffic in this regard. For my part, I will get involved whenever I see someone suggesting something that relates to real-time because this is a topic I'm interested in. What a surprise that I'm actually working in a field I'm interested in ... sheesh ...
