Michael the concept behind DS was excellent and in some ways it is still =
miles ahead of all others. In other ways... well you said a mouthful ;-)=20=


Much of what was implemented at the core of DS was re-purposed in XSI =
and eventually made it's way to some of the Avid products.

Avid still has not figured out what to do with DS IMHO - too afraid to =
cannibalize the Composer franchise I guess - if they did it could still =
be a real contender.

But then again the original plan for AE was much grander at least that =
is how it was explained to me by one of the original members of the AE =
team. AE was but one component in the original plan.

Cheers,
Chris
