Ratboy, that's really nice. I especially like the horse..it looks like it's made of
chalk.
It's a shame you lost it. I'd have liked to see the spotlights lighting up a dusty
media
in the ceiling, and the floor AA'd. Why do you think you suffered a crash? Was it a
POV
thing, or a Windows thing, do you think? You have 128Mb of RAM, so surely it can't
have
been lack of memory.
