I've been around for a while but never really said hi. I'm using A:M12, trying to find the money to upgrade but every time I get some scratch I take a hit from somewhere. (Medical, mostly, it comes with being an old fart.)
I work at a nonprofit museum where we teach a basic electricity course to 10-13yr olds. A parent suggested that we put it out on video - public schools offer none of these "extraneous" courses any more so parents are looking for other options. But a video in any technical subject has to be updated every couple of years, which would mean hiring new actors (10-13yr olds age fast) and reshooting everything. Aha! - let's use animation, animated characters don't age! And with animation, you can show atoms and chemical reactions and fields and things that you can't see otherwise.
So that's how I got into this. Gawd, what a project it's turning out to be, but the psychic rewards make it worthwhile, even if it never goes to completion.
BTW, you should check out the museum. Google Pavekumusem.org
