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!
