While I normally don't mind being quoted regarding something I might have said, and I definitely described "Inside 3D Studio" in glowing terms, the very last word I would use to describe _anything_ is "awesome." For one thing, it's a word I relate with actors like Keanue Reeves and practices like wearing baseball caps backward. For another thing, it's not really a word (unless you look in the Dictionary of American Slang). For yet another thing, if you look up its "root" you'll find that "awe" means "dread," "terror," "the power to inspire dread." I suspect that's _not_ the message that New Riders means to convey in connection with the book. So… you can see that I really don't like that word. <g> Other than that, you're right. I think it's a great book. – Jack
