Might get my hands on a Dell Precision Worksation 530 (1.7GHz XEON, 2x 256MB RD RAM) soon. Will let you know how it compares with my current machine (P4 Northwood, 3.4GHz, 2x 512MB DDR low latency). Hopefully I'll be able to get another CPU and some more RAM for the Dell, but I think it'll be as scarce as hens' teeth, especially the RD RAM. Hoping to use it purely for rendering.

As I can see, it has already been removed.

Your Welcome. Glad to help.

Very nice, Mike Sorry about all the bad architecture you will be forced to see... And my models are very hazardous too:"Don't go around that corner,there's nothing there" Anssi

Another hoot-and-a-half...thanks, Eric!

That will add some girth to my buttress'.

GREAT! Now I'm going to get even less work done..

I've had BBQs that ended up as wet as that. But Hey! this is Britain....what can I say?

Very funny! Very clever animation. I loved the innovative use of all the icons from the animation 'window'. Thanks for posting it! Warren

Good stuff.

wow... y'know, now that I've come down off the ceiling and stopped sputtering like Donald Duck about this whole "migration" thingy, I was questioning my decision to pull my attachments- at least a little bit. Now, not so much. Dave

Coen, Everytime I come back to check things out - you have made things better than I could have thought. That new front page, icons and descriptions are great. I don't know how you are going to make this any better, but I know you and I think you already have something else cooked up, another way to serve the SU community. You rock brother! Shaun Tennant

Steven it would be great to have Jim drop in but I guess he is off fishing or something. I dont think Jim's influence in setting the tone of the original forum can be over-estimated. Apart from being very helpful and knowledgeable his patience and civility was great, particularly with new chums.

Ivica, thank you for your detailed response. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you (and I'm still not really ready to reply :`) but I've been studying all you said and light bulbs have been coming on all over the place...so I'm still a bit blinded. I've known for some time it's time to starting working image areas differently and yours is a good example why! I'll respond with a "learned" image (when I've learned more). Best, Tom.

Yeah, I agree. Coen just gave me some tips. He was holding back!

@jim said: "ayam".reverse More like "onihr".reverse, except with a clunkier GUI. The developer used OpenNurbs. http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/McNeel/opennurbs.html I'm thinking I need to learn to program in Erlang now. On the other hand, I'm an architect, so shouldn't I be designing buildings instead? --Lewis poster-Lewis Wadsworth

Man my memory is going the way of the old forum Yep, I did have to copy one of those funny letter/number things when I registered here. I just forgot, Coffee, I neeeeeed more cofffeeee.

I like the organization of the current layout. I can focus on the areas I am interested in. Sometimes there are posts with "off-forum" titles and if they are all lumped into one it would be, IMHO, cumbersome to sift through. I can be relatively sure that if I go to the Layout Forum I will be viewing posts that have to do with Layout, whatever the title may be. My $.02

The Wii comes with several sports games, everybody I know raves about them. The controller really gives you a sense of playing the tennis and the boxing. Plus she (and you) will be getting something of a workout.

Phil you need a tan I really like the look of this forum too. It feels like we upgraded to a nicer house.
