Janusz,

We do not allow such large file sizes to be posted on this news
server. We appreciate you wanting to share you animations but
this is not the right group and your file size is much to big.

Please cancel your last message.

might be an idea to make your animations in mpeg or divx format as post em
to pba - dont think you will make to many friends posting large animated
gifs to the pbi group :)

Reason why you could not post this to  povray.binaries.animations  group is
because of the file size being way too large.  I was amazed to see this file
here since I thought all groups had the 1 megabyte (after encoding) limit on
them.

What you are limited to is about 736KB files.  So this would never make it.

Language barrier: when in doubt, you might be able to use altavista or somene
here might know the same language or use a translator on what you write.  Not
sure how good that would be but it's an idea.

If you don't know how to cancel the message (I see you use Outlook Express 5)
just select it and use menu Message | Cancel Message
Maybe you already do but the sooner it's gone the more people you save from a
long D/L

David, I live in a relatively small town, and even we have a Lionel
retailer. I bet you could get it repaired. I imagine replacing it would be
costly! I remember the price tags! Seems they always go up a tad this time
of year.

    You probably don't get the new "Dial-up" commercials that RR is running
over here.

    People at a Christmas party talking about their shopping experiences.
One woman say, "I just go on the internet and click on what I want". The
next woman says, "But waiting for the images to load, the broken links and
those ... wait a minute, you must use Road Runner, that's how you can get it
done so fast". The first woman replies, "No, I dial-up" whereupon everyone
laughs at her.
