#2D/3D

This is sure the key, Mitchell. I have bought, used, and discarded more 2D
programs than I care to think about, on many platforms, and the rub was
always that a 2D program requires some degree of artistic talent, whereas
3D programs are a triumph of technology over talent.
I'd be preaching to the choir here to mention that even someone who
couldn't draw worth a damn can put together pictures and animations to
shame Disney (well — at least MATCH them) with 3DStudio — that's what the
clincher is. Nowhere in any advertisement, review, or article have I seen
this fact well articulated: that creating a 2D representation of 3
dimensional space requires real skill that most people do not posess,
whereas the computer can handle this with effortless grace and ease.
