• I am a ceramic manufacturing manager, and before this position, I had no training on ceramics. I was taught our recipes, but none of it was explained. The dragon ran amok. After reading through your articles and descriptions, I feel I have learned so much about my own products, and I have a foundation for changing, improving, and troubleshooting my materials issues that I wouldn't have had otherwise. They taught us in engineering school that we all stand on the shoulders of giants, because we all get to use knowledge and tools at a moment's notice that took others years to develop. Thank you for sharing all that you have, so the rest of us can stand on your shoulders to do our work that much better.

• In the 4 decades or so of my academic career (I taught ceramics as a major of the Fine Art degree at the University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal, South Africa), glaze chemistry was one of my favourite subjects, though it was too 'scientific' for most students! Your Insight-Live programme is really super! Thanks once again for all you are doing to keep the discipline alive and kicking.

• A short, but comprehensive description with lots of needful information like yours is rarely to be found in the internet. Bravo!

• THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your continuing contributions to the ceramic world! [Yes, all caps is shouting, intentionally so!] I've been following Digital Fire for about 25 years now. Many of those years passed with my studio packed in crates in storage. I now have leads on space to reopen. You've kept my passion alive through your postings.

• Great software!
