User statistics:
I ran a survey for about 1 month, seeing what sort of computers people are using Draw3D on. I was quite surprised to find that nearly every Draw3D user has a better computer than me! I started creating Draw3D in 1996 (when I was just 15 years old) on a 486 with 4MB RAM. I guess to some extent, all the years I spent making Draw3D as fast, tiny & memory efficient as I could was wasted, since the idea of saving a few kilobytes here and there is a joke nowadays when memory can now be measured in gigabytes!
