"(BTW - I have been astounded at the similarities I, as an aspiring hacker, have with my painter customers, and just within the past few months I've learned of PG's book "Hackers and Painters.")"

And the fact that the original idea that pg and Robert Morris had for an online business was an online art gallery.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed reading PG's essays, especially "How Art Can Be Good". I wish I could get all of my artist customers to read that one.

I think their original idea was actually a web app/site builder for existing art galleries not an online art gallery that they would run.
