Hi Wouter, If you'll look beyond the initial disappointment at not finding your most-sought function in Mathematica Version 6, I think you'll be surprised and impressed about how must useful and new functionality is there. It's a staggeringly huge release, and I think you'll find the improvements in 2-D and 3-D graphics to be very powerful. (And those are just the tip of a mathematical iceberg.) I continue to lobby on behalf of increased computational geometry functionality in Mathematica, including n-dimensional convex hulls (though you should definitely not overestimate the power of my lobbying). Now that much of the groundwork has been laid in this release, there should be a lot more nice things coming soon. In general, I think Mathematica developers are very open to suggestions for new and improved functionality. If you or any colleagues have any other specific ones, I would be happy to pass them along as best I can. Best wishes, -Eric
