I'm sure I'll be around here still... like you, I bought maxwell in 2005, long before I became involved in development... and maxwell is all I know, since I didn't know anything about rendering before finding it. It was literally the gallery images by you guys who were a little earlier than me, that...

I have been talking to Alonso quite a bit during the transition, and can tell you that he is a good and very competent guy.
