Look forward to reading this. I've followed what you've been up to ref neural networks and suchlike. I still make use of Motion Tools on a regular basis as they make perfect bedfellows to Eric M's wonderful suit of delights. Really hope Eric isn't out in the cold for too long. A man with Eric's talents should have his pick of roles in an ideal and fair world.
