It's a mindset thing.  I use Moray because I find it mind numbingly 
boring to type in lots of abstract numbers, when I can just click create 
sphere, and then transform it as I want, and see the results instantly.

Other people out there can do incredible things with just a keyboard and 
a text editor.

<shrug>  I'm not claiming either way is better, but as a personal choice, 
I prefer Moray. (and it's still the only shareware other than my 
newsreader and email that I use regularly and have registered.)

Well, I found the other version of the animation, and it should be 
attached, but it's 98k, not 58 as I thought (I think it was originally 
58k, but I re-rendered with Antialiasing and at a slightly higher res.)

Bye for now,
