Only just discovered this bit of the forums Jeff - good idea! Any ideas where the winning design can be seen (ie web address)?

I'm not sure what final form it will take, but I thought it would be nice to create a subform where companies and people could post relevant releases and such that might be interesting, and yet didn't fit in the main forums... that way they don't get in the way of the more active 1st person threads, but if people are just browsing they can scan them to see if any are of interest.Any ideas where the winning design can be seenA very good question :) The design is either not posted or I simply can't find it on the UBC site. Autoship has a small thumbnail on their site (http://cadcam.autoship.com/cadnews/pressreleases/may31-03.htm) which I'll attach, but it's hard to make out much from it.
