But the sad thing is, I did want to be a mechanic. Well an electronic, 
mechanic. And I was for many years.
When I started working with computers. You had to enter about a dozen 
instructions in binary (or BCD) into switch registers just to tell it 
that you wanted it to read from a paper tape reader. Then you would load 
an operating system then load the program. Then wind the tape back into 
rolls.
Now it is a washing machine. That does (or mostly not) what I want it to do.

Anyway I will look into it, I don't want to spend a fortune for 
something that will run Blender, I can't see me seriously using Pov on 
it for a while.
