I have to say, I'm astounded at the rather cool reaction this
announcement seems to be getting. I thought an offer to try out
PV-Wave for nothing for 2 1/2 months would warrant some kind
words, to say the least. Coupled with the fact that, if you
already own a PC and have enough disk space, you can try this
system out for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (i.e. Linux is also free),
I would have thought this is something worth shouting for
joy about!

The big question in my mind is whether VNI intend to eventually
charge their PC price ($700?) for this or whether they will charge
the full workstation price. If the former, it would be a good
reason to move to Linux on a PC with PV-Wave as opposed to IDL
for Windows - it would be cheaper and better and at home!

Anyway, IDL already exists for PowerPC in native version, which
I agree, is also a good thing.

Thanks very much, VNI, and I hope the trial period is a success.

Matthew
