News from B.U.R.P.:

Apr 01, 2007
BURP has been sold to Microsoft Corporation and will be renamed to \"Microsoft 3D Online\". For the future this has a few minor consequences, mainly pricing:
Render of 1 session: $2
Render of 10 sessions: $19
Or a monthly fee of $50 for any number of sessions
Also our client now requires a genuine installation of MSN Messenger and Outlook Express to work.


Thanks to MikeMarsUK for noticing this important development.

As it\'s 4 minutes to midnight (here and in Denmark) I think it\'s OK to get your attention towards the date of the announcement ;)

But it was a fine one of course, I had a good laugh.
