Hi:  To me, that sort of makes the point, quite dramatically.  In Blender, 
there are skills that are learned, which carry over from the very young to 
the most sophisticated user.  These are tools, and it's difficult to 
categorize them as NOT educational.  hmmm.  it's all tough to figure for me.  
Rots 'a Ruck, there, Doug.  <grin>
