heh, I guess there *is* the physical fitness angle.

> You could try Blender on it.  
Yes, but to my knowledge, Blender doesn't even use the video hardware in the 
machine.  I have other machines with faster cpu's and more memory which would 
work better for Blender's all-cpu bound rendering.

> You could put OpenDX on it. 
What is OpenDX?  is this something I can do the same kind of animation with 
that I could do with Maya or Blender? (guess I better Google it...)

Interesting, but not what I had in mind.

I'll check it out.
