Ah, another delusional soul. ;-) Take it from someone who seriously followed 
that path -- there be dragons. :-) For one thing, if you're at all 
successful, you'll be stuck there for the rest of your working life. And to 
get far enough to be at all successful, you'll have to figure out how to 
deal with lovely things like resolution, visibility, and tyranny of 
interfaces. Odds are, you'll never get far enough to work on anything 
interesting.

                       Randy.
