Nice to see computers are still as glitchy as they ever were. No matter how powerful a computer seems to get theres always some a**hole at microsoft who will figure out how to make it slow, and then make you pay for it. They could solve the hand/blood thing by placing the drawing screen horizontally. But I guess thats too simple, even today.

Even though it’s amazing, what’s the purpose...?

Pretty cool for back then. Less like SketchUp and more like the predecessor of Inventor, Pro/E, Solidworks, etc. (REAL 3D software)

hah no one realized what is this about..
you know at that time around 30y ago there were these kind of stuff but noone could use it only some people(like researchers and phisicians and stuff__this was far high tech at that time)..
wich mans(what im tryin to say here) that nowadays dont think that ipodtouch and 24"tft monitors and stuff is so high tech..
i think we already have those electronical devices which i gonna buy 20years from now..gotit? its just cant be sold now(and theyr used for more important issues__like the atomic accelerator under switzerland)
