The education discount brings the price from 1200 to 700.00 What do you think? I am not paying for the computer. My favorite thing to do is to create my digital pieces for myself and the site.

We are coming into our last week of our site's SI and it' s been great to include a legitmate strand for tech. SO everyone is blogging and actually going to move to this site as we wind down. How are you and your new project on the web?

Thanks for the shapeshifter link (http://www.aniboom.com/ShapeshifterAnimachine.aspx#shapeshifterswf)
I think I had stumbled upon it before, but now I can't remember if the stumble was because of you (a good thing) or someone else.
Looks neat.
