there is not one contribution from BR in this thread
To be fair though, it's really the kind of thread that would entice a BRL insider to post in. BRL could at least post in this thread, tell us to shutup, and say that Max3D will be released when it's released. :)
If there was the slightest chance it would actually work, they'd jump on it in half a minute. I think Mark has repeatedly said it would be finished when it's finished (except for that time when he somewhat optimisticly said 6 months).
