I am 13. I think I am the youngest here. Oh wait, theres that 11 year old kid, the one with the 2.6million poly cup user added image

And I don't plan on going to a 3d Graphics college, I want to either be a 3d Graphics programmer (see my raytracer link in my signature, (the interesting stuff comes later in the thread so u know)) or I want to be a Doctor in Internal Medicine.

Later,
