Hey Don, Sounds like you're having a marvelous time! Need a grip?! <G> >> Thankyou for clarifying this issue… << Well it did get a little confused for which I'm partly responsible. You know we've been through so much with this PAR thing that I forget where we've been and where we've gone. <g> I'd totally forgotten about using the PAR as a direct input source on the 3DS Server as a possibility. Seems odd I'm sure but even though I've got everything networked I frequently render individual sections and dump them to the server, composite and then output to whatever. To me the PAR was just another device at the _end_ of the chain, along with the Exabtye and tape decks. >> The next two weeks we'll be traveling the College Spring Break circuit… Uh huh… sounds like the Bikini Open to me, but I think it has a new name. <g> >> Seems everything must be done while online. << I've been looking into it but haven't gotten my feet wet. But my understanding is that you can get packets just like you do on CIS and that there are readers for such things. >> I'm beginning to think the Internet system is still not ready for prime time… << I guess some people are having a blast on it, but I'm with you, its not my idea of the way to fly. Besides there is a company here that's wiring my portion of the world, mostly for the business community including the San Diego Tribune that I will be able to tap into that links the Super Computer which is tied in via Satellite and Intenet. The through put is supposed to be capable of handling video in real time. This I gotta see! The Trib is supposed to be on-line later this year and its supposed to be totally interactive. I can't imagine what they see their market being but they going full steam ahead. And the local cable company is doing the same. >> although I have seen your posts on philosophical subjects… << Yeah well sore point. <G> My own fault no doubt. <BG> You're absolutely right they do take up too much time and in this medium its difficult to convey the volumes of information that need to be expressed. I'll be thinking of you shooting those scantily clad beauties, its getting to be about that time of year here as well. Unfortuneately I'll probably be a mole for the summer. Hope not. Good to hear from you also, glad to hear you out enjoying life. That's the one bad thing about animation, there's no excuse to get out! <G> I rely on the great S.D. weather to entice me occasionally. Like today, its gorgeous! Regards, John
