Thats to bad. I always thought that MM's products represented applications

other than just internet.


Siggraph is not a "general" computer show. They dont sell hardware.

When your paying 500 bucks ahead it tends to be more than "whats the latest

hardware/software"

or "hey check out the wizzy visual things".

Most of the shows attendees learn 3D and 2D animation techniques along with

the latest multi-media

and animation applications demanded by the market. With more focus on

workshops and education,

its more than "selling" the artist, it is definetly an "Artist's" show.


I'm sorry MM doesn't see it that way. Sometimes you gota wonder whos running

the marketing show

out there.  8>(
