 I hope it does indeed serve it's intended purpose. As far as your other
wish maybe you could hack into somebody's news bot and have it do the
filtering for you. As soon as it pings one of the two options it sends
out an email to 50 million people just be be sure everybody is properly
notified of the answer to the question. A little over kill perhaps but
fewer people will be repeating the question in the future and the VFAQ
may eventually go to a well deserved resting place in one of the United
Nations buildings as one of the ultimate documents of peaceful coexistence
in our time. An example to all nations that cooperation is a good thing
and we all really can get along if we try.

You might want to periodically run a link checker against your links page.
The one that I use is Xenu's Link Sleuth available at
http://www.snafu.de/~tilman/xenulink.html .  It's free and very fast.

An interesting but satisfactory reply.

I came across this link that is basicaly a somewhat slanted but fairly
accurate review of what to expect for the newest release of 3D studio
Max due out in May of 1999. Thought you might be interested in taking
a look anyway and others people here might as well take a look so they
can answer back to you later "so what else is new ?" when you start
boasting about all of the powerfull new options available in that other
program that you alone seem to use.

Check it out at:

LOL, thanks a lot Ken... make me out as the bad guy ;-)

Actually, on the subject of high end stuff and effects etc etc...

I especially like the new work being done with Flow-Mo... Now if that isn't
cool, I really don't know what is... (Anyone that's seen the "dodging
bullets" scene from "The Matrix" will know what I'm talking about
immediately...)

I have neither seen or heard of it.

  Hey what is with the austrailian internet right now. I tried to access
the Official Pov-Ray mirror site in Austrailia and was denied access
because I was linking in from the U.S.. Is this something new or am I
just now finding out about it ? I think the denial page mentioned
something about a disagreement as to how much of the kitty who gets for
connection rates but it was surprising none the less.
  Since you live over there on the little island could you hope on over
to where that server is and straighten them out on the issue of resticting
access to Pov users ? They should know there are limits to these things.

he he, I know it was all in good fun!!!

SURELY you've heard of The Matrix!!!!!!!!
And SURELY you've heard of Flow-Mo!!!!!!!

OK, well if you haven't it's only the best movie ever... :)  You can go to
www.whatisthematrix.com to get a little more info...

Actually, better, go here to get info on the Flow-Mo shot they did...
http://www.whatisthematrix.com/img/stills_popup6.jpg

http://www.whatisthematrix.com/cmp/sfx-bullet_walk.html
http://www.whatisthematrix.com/cmp/sfx-bullet_stills.html

The animation of the green screened Flow-Mo (part of it anyway) can be found
here:

http://www.whatisthematrix.com/dld/keanuiskool.mov

Now, about the POV-Ray mirror site... I don't even know what the address
is!!!  I'm not sure about the restrictions either...  Never heard of
domain/IP blocking on a public website before... Strange...

As for this comment:

>  Since you live over there on the little island could you hope on over

Well, I don't really feel that I should retaliate to that  :-)  he he he

But back to The Matrix.  So far I've only seen the trailers for it and
searched all over the website :)  I was going to see it last night but
instead I went out of town.  It's HIGHLY recommended by everyone who's seen
it.  The special F/X are apparently incredible (the trailer shot of the
Flow-Mo was enough to convince me of that) and so is the story line!!!

So, as soon as I get the chance I'm seeing it!!!  Typical though, this
weekend I had to go somewhere, next weekend it's my brother's wedding...
WHEN AM I GOING TO GET TO SEE THIS GREAT MOVIE!!!  AHHHHHHH!!!

he he he  OK, I've calmed down now...

  After you mentioned it I queried my inside souce on all thing related
to moviedom, my wife, and it appears she snuck off and saw it last
weekend without me. She gives it a 2 thumbs up rating and also reports
the effects in the film are worth seeing it for even if you don't follow
the plot very closely. I guess when it comes out on cable a year or two
from now I will probably watch it at least once anyway. Only for the
effects you understand, only for the effects.
