Could you please remember that there are people out there in the big wide 
world who only have modem access, and who have to pay their online phone 
charges on a per minute basis.

Personally for this amount of work, I would find a set of links to a 
webpage holding the animations preferable.

I'm not trying to be insulting, honest...  It's just that in order for me 
to grab the rest of my news today in less than two hours (OK, so that's 
an exaggeration, sue me) I had to stop my download and delete all of the 
headers for your animations.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
