bcoz its me who tought him how to use the computer and got him deeply into it... one day, he say this maya icon on my desktop and he told me to show it to him.... and i went a bit too in depth about the topic... and now he knows how to make simple polygon models and all that.. but he was'nt a 3d-hobbyist, i could say...

.:Edit

and btw, we are really good friends so he know what is want... i admit he is very older to me.. but age does not make an issue here
