Well it takes only 1 minute on my 550MHz machine at home :) The 2GHz one is my
work machine, though I've just bought myself a new PC that's even faster, but
it's broken so I won't be able to use it for a few more days... :(

Yeah, I know the effect you mean. It looks cool. Though I see what you meant
about the tunnel, I was confused 'cause there -is- a tunnel ther already! The
reason you can't see it is I've foolishly coloured it black! I'll play with some
different styles and see what looks good.

Very good suggestions, I'll see what I can do :)

Thanks!
