You seem to always read my points back to me as lectures, combined with a di=
scernible lack of comity. I can see how Mr. Obama would find it annoying whe=
n Thurston Howell III does it to him.

When are we NOT working within the limitations of our tools, be it tempera a=
nd fresh plaster on the ceiling of a church, or sitting at a computer of any=
 particular date? To think otherwise is ridiculous, and artistically dishone=
st.

And yes, back in 1997 I saw a company go out of business trying to finish a T=
V series using Mental Ray on SGI, against my advice, because their group art=
 director felt it looked slightly better. Is that the kind of thing you mean=
?
