A big thanks Gary without you and Xara I wouldn't be making a living form graphic design. It was your tutorials that go me going, much appreciated, roger

Gary, thanks for everything, tutorials, encouragement, etc., etc. Delighted that you're not leaving us entirely. You and Xara have made such a difference to my own retirement - I hope yours will be as full and happy!
Every possible good wish to you and Mary,
Penny

Hey, oG—

Was it you who named the Xone the Xone? I do recall Chris soliciting names for the site, and using the "X" pronounced as a "Z" gained a lot of popularity as everyone narrowed the choices down.

I'm feeling a lot like Conan O'Brian to your Jay Leno, and it didn't help that Kate told me I was chosen so they wouldn't have to change the "gary@___" part of the Xone's login.



Seriously, you've put a significant part of yourself and your life into The Xara Xone, and my real challenge is to demonstrate every month how to love the program as much as you do.


See you around the snooker parlor,
OoG (Other, other Gary)

good choice though...

Thank you, Gary for your amazing contribution to this community. I cut my figurative Xara teeth on your generous tutorial offerings. You will be missed, but always fondly remembered.

Arlen Bartch, the former International Marketing Director for Corel Corp. and co-founder of i-us.com came up with the name Xara Xone.

Can you tell Mr. Eye Stare to take his shoes off so he does not scratch the crystal on my gold plated retirement watch.
