My life has consisted of a series of such realizations, so I'm not going to offer *too* much sympathy :-). Would you say it's just coincidence that you're realizing this now, or is it some inherent property of digital (I'd focus on the rapid turnaround myself) that caused you to figure it out now? Or maybe it's the fact that digital represents a *change* to you and started you thinking about fundamentals more again? Just curious. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
