by my friend Ed in Blork Blog: “that second thing [that Brussels Sprouts taste cabbagey] is less of a problem these days, as I am gaining more and more respect for the cabbage, mostly on historical and philosophical grounds.”

The idealist in me (who really knows nothing of the back-story of the demise of the original Pyra) kinda wishes that they could have gotten this together a year or so ago so that that whole gang could have stuck it out as a team.

Annual Vaporware Report. I betcha $20 that they held it until they found out what was going on at Macworld.
