Oddly, I'm appreciating this the second time around. I'm less stressed
and our doctor seems to bow to my (superior?) knowledge.

Both, perhaps. ;)

LOL - I always worry when I know more about it than the doctor. ;)

You worry because your doctor doesn't know enough or because you know
too much?

No you didn't. You forgot it was you're move or you wouldn't have told

Other than Pov your right. I agree. But since I think that I will be
concentrating on Blender. PovRay should not be worked too hard.

Thanks, I'll have a look at them. It will be a good place to start. I
had an Acer laptop the one before last. It might have been the one
before that, even. It gave good service and I had no trouble with it.

Yes, I read about his ideas. Very Hippy dippy. Free love, free drugs,
free software. It is ultimately doomed.

I'm seriously thinking of rooting mine. Just to get rid of the voice

I hate lippy machines.

Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm
afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

The thing for Blender is if you use the Cycles rendering engine, you'll
want an nVidia higher-end GPU, which will add to the cost.

What I currently use as a laptop is what I bought 2 years ago - a Dell
N7110 laptop. 8 GB of memory, i7 CPU, integrated Intel graphics. Gets
the job done, and is even better than the newer desktop I have (8 cores
rather than 4). But it does weigh like a laptop, too.
