How we used to design a web sites.

I saw Studio doing a demo of the Notorious "Snowbarn.cdr" which took an age to render in Corel

Xara was rendering it about 100 times faster at the Olympia Windows Show

I insisted Charles took me behind the scenes to prove to me there was no Video trickery going on lol

I rang Corel in Canada and said You Got to come over and see this - its amazing.

The Corel crew showed up at the next public showing and I will forever remember their faces, shortly afterwards Corel Xara deal was announced and I thought I had brought together an amazing partnership.

In retrospect I guess it actually slowed things down and Corel only seemed to want to bury rather than expand the Xara user base.

Its great to see Xara doing so well all these years later and Corel finally dropped off my must upgrade annually list.

Onwards and upwards Xara!

So YOU are responsible for that "partnership" that all but stifled Xara.

I would have kept that quiet, myself.. ;-)

Yup, I was there as well and I can well remember the snowbarn.cdr trick! As I recall that was on a 486 DX2 machine as well - I pre-ordered the CD that day, much to the amusement of my 'non-graphics' colleagues who went to the show with me.

Do you remember the demo of the green apple with the water drops?

Yeah - but - I had an Acorn Atom (and later a BBC, even played Elite...)

Hey....I had a BBC too and was pretty good at Elite in those days. Was fun and an amazing computer for it's day....ok, now back to regular programming.....
