The balance, unless you are doing something that really does need
to be done in 3D space, has *never* been any good. At least if you
count the amount of effort it takes to write object graphics programs.

That's why the innovations in IDL 6.0 make about as much sense
to me as putting a permanent manned space station on the moon.
Who, exactly, needs it!?

Cheers,

David

P.S. If I really thought there was a chance in hell that
we would be going back to the moon in 10 years, I would
sure be buying Lockheed stock today. I wonder how much
they are contributing to Mr. Bush's re-election campaign. :-)
