Don,
I must have missed this message earlier, I was browsing through my files
and saw it.
As for the significance of the name Crystal Cave, I lifted it from a book I
read by Mary Stuart called "The Crystal Cave" which is about 'Merlin the
Magician'. Since my first name is Merlin, and I have been accused many a time
of doing 'magic' here and there, I thought it appropriate for a company name. I
had decided to use it as a company name many years ago before I had ever
ventured into business. Originally I thought I would own a video/audio
recording studio and the company would be called Crystal Cave Productions.
Well, I am getting closer anyway. (g)
I am not familiar with your Cave Maps. They sound very interesting. Scuba
diving has always been a hobby I wanted to get into but there is nothing in my
area worth diving for, a few strip mines and sunken drag lines to get tangled
up in and thats about it. When I was in the Submarine Service in US NAVY I
almost became a SEAL because I wanted to scuba dive, sky dive and well, I like
watching things blow up. (g) However, when I figured out that I'd have to hurt
people I gave up that notion. (guess I better get the EXPLODE and FIREWORKS
IPAS Routines)
I suppose you do your diving in various areas on the planet. It sure sounds
interesting. I wouldn't mind checking out your maps, and video as well, perhaps
if you have a catalog you can send or leave me Email on some pricing I will get
the opportunity to do so.
I seem to work around my rendering schedule also, my wife however, is not near
as supportive. Actually, I think she has a jealousy problem, of which I am sure
will go away once the checks are bigger and closer together. I am getting
closer all the time. An architectural firm is meeting with me after the
holidays for some consulting on 3D-Studio. They talk as if they will be making
a few hardware purchases, looking for some 3D lessons and then of course, want
to put some work on tape. They have already passed the word as I have received
two more calls from other possible clients that had heard of me through the
aformentioned firm. Can't wait 'till after the holidays now to see how this
will work out.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Don & Family
