I think that as we get older, 'fun' or 'having fun' starts to take a back seat to (boring) things like practicality, functionality, convenience, easy (to setup, learn), quick results, etc. Of course, most of us angrily reject that because we want to cling to the notion that we're as adventuresome as ever and still 'young at heart'. Once in awhile we'll try to recapture those glorious 'fun-filled' days of our youth by doing things like forming a 'tribute' band (but rarely learn more than ten of their 'greatest hits'

).
If you feel this way Donny, and you can afford to take the financial hit, you should go ahead and do it, get it out of your system, and then go back to the less fun-filled endeavor of making a living. I must admit that I'm a little supprised hearing this from you, though, as I always got the impression you were a 'money first' kind of guy. Mid-life crisis?
