Rob, I think you sell yourself short. After goofing with those
programs off and on, I found that rendering something like that can be
a complete project in itself.

While no doubt an invaluable visual aid and sales tool, at this point
the learning curve to produce a rendering of that quality is more of
an investment than I am willing to make. To me, that quality of
rendering is becoming a whole different craft in itself. Nicely
done.

*snickers* (We Mac users can be such smug assholes.) When I was president of a mac user group here in Sarnia, I changed the name to Sarnia Mac Users Group..SMUG...you got it...lol.

So are you saying that the computer was the reason for that
personality triat? Are you sure it is computer related?

JUST KIDDING!!!

Well, it's 37 degrees here in San Antonio now with constant light
showers. Having recently rediscovered my love of woodturning I was
hoping to spend the day at the lathe today. No way - my knees hate me
now, and a day exposed to cold wet weather standing on concrete makes
a lot more than just the knees hurt.

I'm getting a bad case of distemper brewing over here.
