Brian (and Craig),

I'm very disappointed in Apple about this. I'm trying to get a friend
who is a successful consultant to struggling businesses involved in
this. I think this is another example of what happens if you don't have
the time for tireless marketing and self-promotion. You can have a far
better product but just get ignored.

I'm going to try to get off a letter or two to Apple, with some of the
files I've done with GC. Curvus Pro is certainly an impressive product,
but when it came to how slow and awkward it was at 3D graphing, there
was no comparison. It was also bug-ridden, throughout, and I gave up on
it for everything except 2D graphs.

Chris- I agree with the sentiment, but isn't the horse out of the barn already? In some ways, it may even be better for Graphing Calculator that it wasn't...
