Sanford, >> I'm animating 7 days a week now… << Yeah, I kinda figured. <g> >> It gets in the blood… << Yeah but so does tall blondes with long legs, racing cars, cutting video, sailing (which is probably the only thing that keeps me sane, the tall blondes definitely don't <g>) and a few other things… and while I enjoy those things I don't spend anywhere near as much time with them as I do this stuff… And believe it or not, I don't actually look like a geek, even though being around these machines all the time has probably turned me into one. <G> I think those guys in Venice Beach have the right idea… plenty of distractions, so maybe you could get away with only putting in 10 hours a day… <g> The allure of those sleek racing forms on roller blades would pull me away at least once in a while… <g> >> Have you though about doing something like Noah's Arc with all the wire meshes on the Syndesis ROM… << I'm not sure that kind of thing is my calling… I'm more into the graphics logo stuff and abstract design of things… opens and ID's tags etc. I can do character animation when I can relate to the characters but that's not often… Fantasy Adventure games I can do, and some Sci FI stuff but animals are in a totally different league, at least for me. But I'm open to the idea of a joint entreprise on something… however now is not a good time anyway. Contrary to popular perception about hanging out here, I actually spend more time here when I've got work to do… as I can't often get away and this becomes an escape… <g> Sometimes the deadlines are so tight and I'm so exhausted, I don't even have time for that… Next few weeks promises to be pretty intense, but we'll see. Lets keep the dialog open though, and see what develops… Later, John
