It certainly shows. 6 weeks is nice chunk of time to spend on a single product review. It's certainly a more relaxed deadline than most other reviewers get, myself included. Most reviewers would kill for 6 weeks. -8 (I usually get about half that, which is actually a lot longer than it sounds.)

Whenever I write a review, I automatically enter "panic mode". In addition to my non-review workday, I actually cram in an extra 10-12 hours of review time. I only sleep about 3 hours each night. I eat every meal at my PC. I give up my social life and ignore my phone & TV. Every day becomes "crunch time". I've written about 6 or 7 reviews over the past year. By the end, my head is always about to explode. :scream: It's rough. That's what a couple of hundred hours will do to you. :)I think that's why I really respect Randy's deep review.

It's not an easy job to do people. :)

Fantastic job, Randy!!!! I´m sure this will be apreciated by all who wants to know more about C4D! All in all a great contribution. Guess you have to spend some time with your family now - bet they haven´t seen you much the past weeks.

JIII, Srek, cookpuss and michaeli

Thanks! for the kind comments.
cookpuss - That is one thing I like sofar about writing reviews for Critical-Depth that make sure that we have the time needed to do the job. They realize that writing reviews is not our full time occupation!

As someone that's published over 100 reviews/articles in various magazines over the years, I just want to tell you that your review was excellent and I really enjoyed reading it. I'd really like to learn more about C4D, always seems to have been a program that sort of flew under my radar when I was reviewing/running my web site. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the encouraging words Meternotes! This is my 3rd review, and hopefully not my last.
