Yeah... It really was a hell to render, I'd guess(I was by the Tv :-)

hehe, I had never done this before, so I thought, Whatta heck and did. and once
it had passed an hour, I thought I had done so much already, so I could let it
finish ...

Yeah, I had 96 a while ago.... bbut I had to give the 32 back ... :-/

yea... hehe. I think you understand why I'm pretty fed up with the fwrite
crashes .-)
