Sounds like we have a terminology problem ... I always thought the 
Tiger-1 was a 3D tank model.

Do I now have to refer to it as a miniature physical tank replica so 
that you computer nerds aren't confused when you usurp our real-world 
terms in your virtual spaces ;-)

I sometimes wonder if the computer world that I helped to create over 
the past 25 years was the right thing to do.  You can cut and paste as 
much as you want while building models in cyber-space, but the feeling 
of accomplishment will never match that of making a long, 
perfectly-uniform shaving from a piece of nice hardwood with a hand 
plane that you just sharpened or thousands of other little miracles that 
happen in the workshop when nobody else is looking.
