Thank you for your offer!

I guess the response isn't that good to start the trouble of an
additional web-server. There's still a difference between "free"
webspace and webspace you have to pay for. I had thought that maybe
aadvertising could be the key to a free service but rethinking it you
need a lot of time to get some companies to place some ads on your
server (and pay for it). Maybe a new povray CD-ROM would provide a
better investment-time to earned mony ratio.

All the Best,
