Future History Here: Long about 9.0 was the full import into Maya. :) But let's not stop there. There's music to explore ala Musinum or Visions of Chaos -- but it gets even better... There was a "printer" featured in Jurassic Park 3 that "built" a working model of a dinosaurs "voice-box" (which saved the heroes bacon in the velociraptor circle). I'm pretty sure I saw some pictures of some output from this "printer" before Jurassic Park hit the silvered screen -- that is -- the "printer of 3D" is real, it's just insanely expensive not to mention the cost of the expendables. So there's this really neat intersection of development cycles of Chaoscope and this "printer". But wait! -- there's more!!! A few years ago, a big splash was made about an "Odor Printer" some one claimed to have discovered an RGB of smells, and was able to produce fragrances, odors, and -- well? -- stinks (as in yucky-poo) -- and then just as wonderfully & mysteriously as it had arrived -- it went away. kinda like Cold Fusion? or maybe did it produce a hallucinogen-by-accident (as in kick-a-poo) or even better -- a pheromone accelerant? and so it was most likely swept into the NSA's of the world anxiety closets. (along with the 200 mpg fuel injection system). dunno. Imagine a series of unimaginably sweet fragrances issuing from the work of a man who had lost his nose!! And there's the pipe dream of chaoscope 120.0 and the holodeck... ie the walkthru hyperspatial navigation system :) But I pro-gress. (that's funny, I usually transgress!!) Hey, if anything, I'm a patient kinda guy... I just age in a hurry. It's all just soooo Moody Blues. sigh. John I now return you to your regularly scheduled conversations...
