Sounds good to me - count me in (you should have got an email from me by now).

As a general discussion on this, and recalling the smoke anim. you posted (or
was it on your site?) using your particle system (which IIRC had a rather dodgy
start), is it fundementally easier to simulate a still image of smoke by using
systems such as your own, as opposed to some clever function to shape the
column?

The dodgy start to your anim. would imply that, even for still images, a
particle system has many advantages.

Also, what exactly was that smoke? A particle system implies particles, but it
looked more like media. What, roughly, was going on in that anim? (the only
thing I can think of that makes sense would be a merge of particles containing
media, but waddaiknow?).
