"Stagnation" it must be horrible for you. Well, look at it this way, when the time comes they will have forgotten about "Struggles" and you will be able to wow them again with your prowess. By attacking the education market a company would have to throw money at it, I'd suspect. For example, there is a junior public school up here which is almost completely automated, with Macs, no less. I think many of the systems where donated but for Mac that's great because it is lots of public exposure. Heck, the Premier of Ontario even went in a media blitz and had his picture taken playing with a synth hooked up to a Mac. Talk about advertising, it couldn't get any better. Afterall, aren't there all sorts of CDTVs that aren't moving? But C= would have to do more than just throw technology at the school. They would also have to provide viable products and processes to use on the system (not just dPaint and FinalCopy.) Let the technology be an aid, not a hinderance. If you get 'em when they're young you'll have them for a life time (it works for MacDonalds). Of course, C= isn't known for marketting foresight and they are losing $$$ right now so an event like that is unlikely. I thought you knew C? I suspose when your promotion goes through it might be good for you to brush up your skills, huh? The learning never ceases. I was thinking the otherday that I don't really know any more than I did a few years ago even though I do. The ante keeps going up. The project I'm working on started up as simply a demo of a hypermedia application to use in my portfolio but it quickly grew beyond my means and abilities. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should get a working copy with what I have or do more research to get it to the level I want. It's hard when to be a project manager, programmer, researcher, writer,graphic artist and designer. Very challenging and exciting but frustrating. How many people would you have on your teams? Andrew
