Re: [Virtools] Virtools Promises and Competion

Check out this link http://linkdup.com and go to the noodlebox web site if
you get a chance. You'll need shockwave 3D. I think Macromedia will get the
edge in 3D products because they're good at customer support. Look how far
they've got Flash. Shockwave 3D will do the same. I used to be a NeMo fan
too.
