Ken, thanks. I had help too of course, over time. Now I can cruise around
and blow up things on my own. :)

Thanks for making me feel useful.

I was as much interested in

Just an artist. The Backup Beastie splash was rendered in Poser, with post
processing in Photoshop and Compositor.

Thanks. Stupid names help me get through the drudgery of coding. You should
see FN WahooMcGillicuddy in Widget World.

I guess I am the Puntiff.

>The sharing that goes on in this list is commendable indeed.

That is how I learned a lot.

He doesn't use it anymore, but Waverly Edwards used to have a cool thing in
his docs or splash, "Each One, Teach one." Always liked that.

And always glad if anything I write helps somebody else or saves them the
drudgery of having to write it themselves , the normal wheel re-creation.

I tell you what will mess your head up, if you have ever seen the "Alien"
series of movies, them things were after me all night in my dreams...
Ick. Even hiding out in the luggage area of the pop top of my VW Camper
van. :) That was irritating.
