Thanks people!

Haven't had a lough like that for ages :-)

You for got a few though, like the one who produces a 3D sterio
image and postes it in binaries.images, and the one wo writes
back saying it's KEWWELL!, and the two who reply saying they
can't focus because the light hurts their eyes.

OH and you forgot the one who's trying to produce an image of a
lightbulb and doesn't know how to get the light source inside the
object.

Cheers Steve
