When I think of HT and his crew I dinnea think of them as a company per say developing a product to sell. HT and the gang to me are more in the way of a group of artists expressing their vision of a fine piece of artwork. Being pure artists they stay true to their beliefs and express them accordingly not hindered by the facts of monetary rewards or others people’s opinions. The artwork is their reward and the business end of it is just a by-product. Ah….well that’s just my thoughts on the matter. Either you come and admire the portrait or you move on to the next one.

hehehe....oh my...that's my bud......I love ya anyway ppit....  

I'm sure glad you and I live in a country with universal health care and a social safety net to catch all of those unemployed artists.  

I didn't want to start a thread here, but rather get these type of discussions over to an environment that has an audience that doesn't mind chatting about this stuff.

If you'd like to talk about the flight sim business for non profit, come on over.  I'm sure you'll get a rise out of some great folks.

ps....how's the dress coming?

Torque has a bit of a point  

I am of the belief that if you do actually love what you do and create something beautifull - the money usually follows.

*disclaimer* if ya ain't got taste, it usually doesn't work  !
