Well, I'm working on a Master's in computer graphics and animation. Yes, I have considered working on a flight simulator, but they are a lot different than computer graphics (yes, really). I still occasionally think of different ideas on how to do it, but it could be awhile before I actually try to do anything. BTW, there's a nice X11-based flight simulator over on one of the MIT ftp servers (I can't remember which one, expo maybe?). > >-- >File: AW esome .sig REVIEW/SEE/ADMIRE Escape: Reality >=====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|= >Robert E.
