hey I got a call & Darran said he'll be in Toronto Wed April 4th, if anyone is so inclined to find out more about this
I'm in hamilton but could commute in for a meeting somewhere; would a pub be too informal? :D
I should be in Toronto Mon 2nd Apr to Wed 4th Apr.. just scheduling my flights around some other things.
Do let me know your availability for those dates, and I'll be glad to drop by at a convenient time for a conversation on our technologies.
Cheers!
Darran

So Mr. Savage gave me a call today...
What they are offering is an evaluation of your entire pipeline and
render bottlenecks. One of the tools is the card. They have never
heard of Vray so I just stopped right there. I was apparently the
third person in the last couple of days to bring some concerning
issues to his attention. I would be skeptical about letting these
guys into my system, and some of you guys are in much larger much
more complicated systems than my little setup.
