Interesting situation. "The grass is always greener...", even for a 45 year old CEO of 300 million/year company. I do with him well in his new marriage, family, and we pray for his father.

We saw John at the round table event last night with SolidWorks and CMNC-SWUG. He came, showed off a classic car, shook hands and twice apologized for not being able to rearrange his schedule enough to stay for the whole evening. He was visibly pained, for this was the sort of user group and developer interaction he had been pushing for the past few years. I am not sure he knows when he will be back at it full time and at full speed, which may be why it seems like a dramatic move for him and the firm. If you happen to see him at SWWorld or some other SWUG event, shake his hand and wish him well. After a couple of decades of that kind of energy level in this industry, the guy deserves a break and some thanks for the effort.

John,

I would have loved to have been able to attend that meeting!

I recorded John's presentation at our June NASWUG meeting, but have yet to get it up online. I do have it digitized though, and hope to post it somewhere this week.
