Aye, there's the rub. Someone like me CAN'T take a year off without
outside financial support (and there's nothing on the horizion). I've
been working full-time and splitting the rest between woman, sleep and
animation. Needless to say, I'm progressing slowly. Technique is
mediocre to good and the storyboarding is coming along well. Equipment
for output is availiable any time I want (network folks!). All I need
is removable mass storage and enough time to put this all together. Oh,
there's that rub again <grin>.

Big companies have scooped me on almost everything that's come along.
I have the skill, not the speed....

Must have been a relief to the remainder...
