Thank God, I was beginning to wonder where they (3-D Studio dealers) were. I've talked to a couple of the "Local" AutoCAD Dealers about their impression of 3-D Studio, ( they lack imagination & 3D skills ) One I actually worked with for one year after my partnership broke up. Computech Inc. (my former AutoCAD Dealership) was a partnership between myself and a very well known A&E Firm. The problem there was, my partner had zero time to devote to the business. I can't really blame him, his 40 man 42 Million Doller A&E firm should take up the bulk of his time as compared to an AutoCAD Dealership that never broke $750,000.00 per year. However I was the entire company for the first 18 months of business and the only Sales person for the entire 4 years. Get the picture, (spelled" TAX WRITE-OFF") The only exception to that was up until the last 8 months when my partner deceided to get me some "sales" help. It was too late. I was getting pretty crispy and felt that as long as I was doing it all myself I should start a consulting company. Which I did. I'm Located in Green Bay Wisconsin, ( Home of the Unbelievable Green Bay Packers ) This is the best year they've had since 1966. I oughta know I watched em' tear down the Goal posts just before I was introduced to Uncle Sam and his Fun and Games. But I seem to be drifting. The point is I've always been ahead of my time. The technologies I get involved in always seem just a little too expensive for me to get involved with on my own and therefore I get involved with money-people that have interest in a quick buck. I'm in this for the long haul and love the business. I've been involved with electronics since 1967. I was responsible for Bringing Satellite Television to the State of Wisconsin that company still exists without me, you guessed it, Big Money squeezed me out. So Can an under Capitalized 3-D Studio Dealer REEEAAALY make it in this market or am I waisting my time? JM
