I did a desk top once.  It in no way resembled anyone's desk, but I was
able to put a rocket, a paperweight, a Rubik's Cube, and other stuff on it.

Entering the animation part of the IRTC really boosted some of my skills,
because I would envision something, and then work like the devil to
bring it off.  Sometimes I achieved my conception, and sometimes I
didn't.

A lot of the stuff I have in .INC files and macros came from noticing
the things I was doing over and over again, especially when I was
animating.  Your skills will expand the most when you tackle something
ambitious.

Regards,
John
