Thanks. Yeah, they gave me no end of trouble (and they're still not right.)
Cylinders, spheres, tori. I've amassed a bunch of engine images off the web, and
the front nacelle--with all its complex curvatures--has proved a bear. I *may*
have to go with a mesh object instead. Haven't quite given up yet, though!

It's there when I go there. (Don't know if this matters: I'm using Firefox as my
web browser, on a Windows XP machine.)  The file has a .dat container added (by
the newsgroup server?), which *may* be a source of trouble; but when I click on
it's link, I can still get it to play, by browsing to Windows Media Player.

Good question. I guess because (at present) I don't feel 'comfortable' with
posting stuff to Youtube, for various reasons. (That's not being very logical or
practical, I admit.) I've also heard (perhaps unfounded rumors) that Youtube
recompresses the video to be of inferior quality(?) Honestly, I haven't taken
the time to learn much about it.
