  I know that, but wouldn't ever have won *anyway* with the way I WANTED TO 
USE IT.


   POVCOMP won't happen again, (I haven't had answers to my question about 
if POVCOMP will happen again). But many images, made 'their' day.


 How you were "tempted" and "enticed"

I hope you're not taking the #### with that statement. Seriously. ;)

  Oh, please RD. Did I say 'forced' anywhere in my post?! No.

  I wanted to enter to try and get a computer for my daughter for Christmas. 
That was my drive, nothing else, (think how pissed-off I am with messing my 
detail images up!)  I'll find it easy to NOT enter another povcomp now, 
unless of course, I use pure SDL. (Which might happen. Just because I use 
Wings mostly now, it doesn't mean I *can't* do the *pure* thing - although 
people just forget in here. I 'do' have the patience to do it).

 My ART would be extremely limited though. PoV doesn't adjust profusely for 
this, art-wise, generally.

  Go Figure. ;)
