Well said! I remember editing cr2's on my Motorola 68040 and jumping for joy when transparency rendered the shiny plastic mannequin hair obsolete.But I may have been a relative latecomer with Bryce 2, Poser 2, etc.

I did not have to make my own computer chips by hand. I had it EASY! Now I blaze along on my first generation Intel Mac Quad Xeon (2006?) watching with envy as more modern computers render on by in the fast lanes.
