Good!:) btw since we're kinda on the subject, how can I shorten the 
box {<-0.5,-0.5,-0.5>,<0.5,0.5,0.5> } 

see I always make my boxes that big then scale the suckers to whatever I'm
doing, the thing is typing all those 0.5's can be tiring (I get around
that with cut and paste, but still if there is some shortform...I'd love
to know it :)
