A definitive ruling on the correct pronounciation!

Seems went pretty well! Very interesting to get a 'take' on both of you 
guys.  (So now I want to know if David is a Senators fan.)

I am giving it a second listen.  I am wondering if the show was 
presented straight-up as recorded or if you can detect any editing.  It 
seemed pretty true with some of the time delays left in and so on.

Given that you had to start from first principles and get across the 
keyboard-to-picture concept repeatedly, you were able to cover a lot of 
'territory' of the POV-Ray world in the available time.  It was 
certainly effective to have the HOF available and hear the hosts' 
noticeably genuine response to what they were seeing there.

It was interesting and in a way reassuring to me to understand that the 
people behind the development side really are heavy-duty technologists 
and can simply enjoy that side of it.

It was also interesting to hear how originally, the process of putting 
code out and the surprise of having improved code or 
pictures-never-thought-possible come back at you, was integral to your 
enthusiasm at the time.  Thoughout the interview you returned to your 
enthusiasm for the POV community and its dynamic for evolving software 
and images.

I thought your insights into the attractiveness of this program for 
artists were remarkably accurate but quite basic, I thought there might 
have been some ways to extend that side a bit more.  Still, you and the 
hosts inventoried the whole spectrum of issues and interests attached to 
the enterprise wonderfully.
