   Hello,
   I was quite curious about this situation when it occured myself.
It came as quite a surprise when my e-mail to Greg came back to me
undelivered, and then I read about their move to VM Labs. This should
explain to all the break in our auditorium classes, and the fact that
there has not been more activity to date. But, if you take notice, the
download times from the SCEA server are really cooking of late,
because Peter Alau has been hard at work learning Unix and upgrading
our site.
   I don't think anyone should bear any ill will towards Bill and
Greg, they did what was best for their own careers.  These guys are
all old friends and I don't think there is any ill will between them.
There is also a story behind the scenes for why they left Sony,
but  I don't know it. I just know it is there from inquiries I made.
   They had their reasons, no one at Sony bears a grudge, so that is
enough for me to believe none of us should bear one either. I would
throughly enjoy their presence at any conference you organize.
