Sorry Benjamin (and everyone else who has mailed me) I can't get my account to
reply to mail!!  (Kind of 'borrowing' the account anyway.)
The only problem I see with the 3D is speed.  It's tough enough to get any
graphics game to run fast.  Syncing the thing would perhaps be tough as well. 
I love the idea.  After Stella though, it's become tough to think of a game
that lends itself to 3D.  Colony and flight simulators of course, but the
complexity of games like this have caused me to shy away from them.  A 3D card
game? - So what.  You know?  Not a lot of ideas come to mind.

I started a 3D paint program that (yes) had 3D menus and a 3D palette (done
manually - not with the Menu Manager).  Alas, my shelves are creaking under the
weight of half-baked projects.

So, could someone (ben?) binary those plans again?  (I also can't fido.)
