While they can be used to produce previously impossible, inspired works in the hands of talented artists, they also make it possible for legions of people to create an endless supply of mediocre works. Which, in itself might produce another side effect; a quite desirable one in my mind. With the means of artistic creation widely availabe, when the average citizen is faced with the daunting task of separating the precious wheat from the abundant chaff of other people's art, perhaps they will be encouraged to produce their own art instead. These days, too much emphasis is placed on the marketing and consumption of art, and too little emphasis is placed on its creation - an equally important, or even more important part of the equation, IMHO. >........but i can still play the lick from "smoke on the water" on my > unmentionable............:)..........michael Now *that* is a very personal form of expression...... -- Mango -- A *huge* Bungle fan, with no appologies......
