It seems unusual... but it looks like he was working for this company from at least 1998-2002. Is he still there?

Greg Gorby

Manager of Research and Development

Mr. Greg Gorby has recently been promoted to Manager of Research and Development.

Greg has been associated with SCI since June, 1998. His experience and creativity have been put to task in carving, information services and product development. Greg brings to the company and our customers a lifetime of experience in color, sculpture, mold making, and computer programming.

Greg holds a BFA degree from Kent State University, and taught fine art at the University of Miami in Florida. His unusual education included four years of math and physics, making him an oddity in the art department.

This blend of science and art serves him well, helping him solve problems through analytical reasoning tempered with an astute aesthetic sense. His skills include technical writing, having written several software manuals. His computer programming experience includes writing and bringing to market a full featured 3D rendering software package.

With Greg's help, we anticipate advances in both our colors and our production process. Congratulations, Greg!

Thanx galacticadude, we would love to talk to him about the future of Aladdin 4D. We would love to have his input and know his original dreams for the 3D package.

Have him join Amiga.org if possible please. We would like to talk with him about the future of Aladdin 4D. He is the original creator of the 3D software.

Very nice, please try again. It would be so nice to talk with Greg Gorby the original creator of Aladdin 4D. His thoughts and wisdom would be exciting to know.

Maybe you would have better luck using a different kind of bait?

I don't know if it is Gorby season or not where you are, but there are very stiff penalties for Gorby hunting outside the posted dates:crazy:

Sorry,  I was biting my tongue for SOOOO long trying to keep that back that I had to either let it out or POP!

The only way the Hunt will ever succeed is if they hire Jack Ryan.
