+1 funny, +1 insightful. The pub does offer some of the benefits of the kind of platform I am looking for, plus beer, but it doesn't offer me the tools to build and interact with 3D models. I could bring my own tools and raw materials to the pub and start working ("ok, let's start with a two-meter-high wooden box here!"), but I suspect I might get thrown out. Not to mention the time and cost as opposed to a virtual alternative. Also, the other eight customers are not likely to want to play with and comment on my work, whereas in a virtual community of thousands I should be able to find a few who happen to be interested in the same kinds of designs as I am. /c _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
