CD-Roms (and now DVD's) are a very great way to make a living. It's what I do :) And, again, hon, no one is saying that these are not trends, and that they will not produce comfortable livings for people, and that they are not opportunities. And like I said, don't stop. This is cool stuff :) Check your CD-ROM invention history, though. Your last statement is true of a great many things, and can be applied to any business or group of businesses. But you are continuing to NOT address the points or even answer the questions raised earlier. PLEASE do so. What is being said is that you are talking about The business of Entertainment, and your posts thus far are saying that Poser (which is not Entertainment) will be replaced by it, and within the next couple years. That would take a RADICAL shift that 64 bit computing is not going to be able to bring out in and of itself. Since game systems themselves do not create geometry, only manipulate it, your underlying theory is faulty.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
