Keith, getting back to your original message, the digital art that appears in galleries (of the future) will be the most expressive and that makes people say "Wow!"  I agree with Simon (as usual) in that art must be driven from within, and the tools an artist uses will be those that enable him to express it best.  UF is so powerful; nothing I've seen matches its scope and versatility. I think any technically minded artist will surely gravitate to it.

I think it is good that you are exploring Apo again, since you have in the past been a bit of an Apophobe. There are some great things coming out of Apo. It's a useful arrow in one's quiver, as they say, although I find it a bit limiting in general.

Rick, I don't think you are pedantic. Neither are you a peddler of pedestrian parasols. But you do have the "commodian" gift, something I have always admired.

Cheers,

Tim
