I must admit to agreeing with this philosophy.

Pretty cool how you animated it.

My simplistic take on the environment:
I compare the Rain Forests to my Hard Drive.
So much vast space to begin with,
Then,  I turn around and it is almost full.

rant on
What is the friggin' deal with frame speed?
(Pardon my 'french' I know this is a family
 newsgroop).
Why is most every mpg I see too fast.
I use Media Player 6.4.
Maybe I am to old school but I wish
everyone would post flc's.  That way
I could control the frame speed.

And while rant is on I would like to
completely and wholeheartedly
disagree with  Bob (Omni) [a most excellent
and talented individual, for sure].
I think that the image size for p.b.i. should
be, if anything raised, and that for p.b.a.
should be reduced.
Most ani's that I see (whatever the
quality) could be reduced in size.
I am tired of seeing small images
in p.b.i. and large bloated ani's
in p.b.a.
Unless I am mistaken, size is an issue.
There is a limited amount of space on this
server.

I will go even further in this rant and
say that the power of pov's animation
capabilities is being abused.

(Here I must add that I am in
*no* way criticizing any one piece
or any individual. )

I believe that P.B.A and P.B.I. should be
merged (oh great, now I am sounding
like a fri***ng communist, how unenduring.)

Is not every Pov piece an animation?
This for me is one of the great beauties
of Pov. Every image can be animated,
can it not?
rant off */
Oh, dear, I do go on.
