On the bonus disc for Final Fantasy etc. etc. it was mentioned that one 
of the scene files took about 45 minutes to load up on the systems they 
were using...  (can't check exact details right now, I've lent the discs 
out to a friesnd, and won't be visiting him again until next month.  
Sheesh, you're gone from Friday evening to Sunday evening and there are 
55ish posts waiting here to ambush you when you get back...)

Bye for now,
