1) specialized gear comes with firmware the hardware vendors don't share or reveal. c'mon, we can't get the full capabilities of commodity 3d graphics cards to work yet, or even flash or full acrobat equivalents. what i'm talking about will definitely take a while longer, if it all. in the meantime, my biological clock is ticking. i'd like to complete some creative projects before i croak. > There is a song by Joey Mcintyre -- Stay The Same!
