Hi Reggie:

    Where did you see this?  I saw nothing on their site.
Nothing new anyway.  It's still the race transporter
page they had up a year and a half ago.

    It's sad, if true.  I have no reason to doubt their
sincerity.  What would be the point?  But I can't
understand why a modest interim product couldn't be
released, to give them some capital and us something to
look at.

    I have a feeling that only now, with multiple dual
core Opterons, would we start to have the compute power
needed to realize their ambitious vision.

                                                   Larry

Figures..  I knew I never liked you, this cements it.   Must you use an
alter ego to give yourself a compliment?

Now that I think about some of your previous nonsense Id bet
Fredrickson/Reggie/Flightless are the same fool, or a Kindergarden class
sneaking access through their teachers pc.

You call it a scam, which could be a libellous statement. I think the
time has come for you to make you libellous claim under your real name.
Then the West boys can decide if they want to sue you or not.

Ted,

What I can't believe is that you are basing this absolute "fact" on an
anonymous poster who has been spreading nonsense and general bile about
R.A.S. for a while now.

I'm all for reasoned argument, especially on usenet, but when you take
an "announcement" such as this at face value without any kind of
questioning it doesn't exactly make your arguments credible.

BTW. Unless they've decided to throw it all in since I talked to him
*yesterday*, this is, of course, nonsense.

All the best,
Ash

Shouldn't you be using an uppercase 'H' out of respect? :)

It's a mad, mad world, ain't it?

Funny..  There are at least three people in this thread that have
already driven the RL physics engine.  But who would believe them?

By the way, Gregor, how are those goats doing? :-D

Ooh,  I've never seen a vapourware court case before. Do you think they can
sell some more virtual ***to mark the occasion ?
All this coming from someone called whooo. Or perhaps that is your real
name. Doug"Whooo"Ellison. Or maybe you just like trains.

Your support for the "West boys"(lol) is admirable. Perhaps they'll give you
a position on their next project. Hahahahahaha

I'm basing it on nearly 5 years of sod all apart from a few decent renders
that any 3D Max amateur could pull off.
It just happened that "reg the veg" rekindled my dislike for being
bullshitted.
So where are "they" up to with the sim of the century, then ? Or is it top
secret bollox ?

All the best
