Ah, thank you. I've canceled the messages. Didn't know about the size limit
being 1 meg *or* the message encoding; thanks again. =)

For those interested in the animation I was going to post, I've uploaded it
to my website at http://www.slimeland.com/misc/SlimeLS.mpg (1.7 MB).
Following is the text of my original introduction to the image:

Since I'm new to these groups, few of you probably know what Slimes are.
Nonetheless, here's an animation that I made a while ago, and just recently
added sound to it. I have no plans of changing this any more, but I'd
appreciate any comments that may help me improve my animation and
scene-creation skills in the future.

For the curious, I wrote a VB program to animate it; the program outputted a
text file detailing where the objects should be at given "key frame" times,
and my POV-Ray source interpolated those values. You can see that it's
linear interpolation if you watch carefully at some points.

Comments, questions, criticism?
