Until I got a videogame fixation, my Plan B list included doing technical or
educational animations. This seems like it should be a pretty good market niche
to get into.

*to me*.

I'm curious how you manage to be within 17 feet of a computer when you're
skiing. ;)

Or they are within 17 feet, but it's not turned on. Since I was able to
access email/web from a phone I went from having my home PC on every
evening to it being quite unusual to turn it on in the evenings.

I can see how that might be useful. My PC, of course, has not been
turned off for several months now. I've got 4 copies of POV-Ray running
24 hours a day ATM.
