@unknownuser said: most of the time programs don't follow the guidelines for windows programming and on update of OS they fell apart. Tavi,I can see your point but what I cant understand is why, for example, quite recent releases of AutoCad become useless on Vista....surely it would be possible to write in some backward compatibiliy for what is a signifigant application.

@gaieus said: Spence, be careful with gif images though - they can only handle 256 colours so your (most probably nice) render might get screwed up big time! It's quite a big "downgrade" from a jpg quality to gif quality. This is true. Some graphics apps have a setting that allows you to "dither" the gif image, which basically smooths the image. I'm not familiar with ImageReady (know of it, used it once) but I believe it should be able to "dither" the final gif.

Thanks Gai and Coen for recognizing it.

Congratulations Richard!

reminds me of a funny story...Way back when I was an intern for a firm in New York. I worked for a small firm with all guys on staff. all of them were close friends and played a lot of jokes on each other. one of the guys was dating and must have told the other guys that his girlfriend was having a pregnancy test done. so while he was out at lunch they had a girl call and pretend to be his girlfriend and leave a message with the receptionist... so when this guy returned from lunch there was a phone message in the receptionist hand writing with his girlfriend name and the simple message "the rabbit died"....a reference to being pregnant....so now this guy thinks he's a father and all the stuff that goes along with it...of course his buddies want to know what's bothering him and start to console him and talk about the good old times he's going to miss out on now that he'll need to get married and have a family....they are laying it on pretty thick...of course they cant hold back the laughter for long and he realizes that he's just been punked....but then he realizes that he may not be a father and it's like the weight of the world has just been lifted from his shoulders... well office pranks can be fun if you are just a bystander. thanks for stirring up that happy memory in my mind.

Hi Ross... yes, it was clear skies today, actually quite beautiful! We did get hit with storms just a couple of days from each other. I think we've had over 100" of snow this year so far. That's probably spring for Ross!

Knowing you, you may want to go the whole 9 yards. http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm

Funnily enough Ross, it was concept coverings that I found too. Good point about the fire rating, if the client wants this wallpaper it will have to meet regulations.

Wow. I saw that movie when it came out. A not so subtle jab at society in those times. That really brings back some memories.

Good point Joe, I really didn't take as close a look at the model as you did. Compound curves would be a nightmare. It is something to address for sure. It would be worth it to look at the plate line and mellow out the curves to make it more reasonable to build. Perhaps reighn it in to undulating curves instead of wild curves. Anything is possible with unlimited time and money but who has that?

Born and raised So. Cal girl... I have lived through some whoppers! It is funny how you get used to them. I would wake up and look over at the rod that opened my blinds and depending on how bad it was swinging would determine if I would get up or not! C-R-A-Z-Y

My daughter went to a play at a local playhouse last week... Seussical http://www.hebronacademy.org/common/news_detail.asp?newsid=429943&L1=5&L2=2&L3= I didn't get to go, I was very sick

@ross macintosh said: I can read lips. Ross... You're a guy of many talents... Wonder if you can make a living out of this..???

Well, there's FormFonts, of course. That all started out with me seeing an opportunity and a demand for 3D low-poly figures; and Fred Abler starting a site called Objective Networks, which later "inspired" the 3D Warehouse. To this day, the Warehouse bears more than a passing resemblance to Objective Networks (This is a very slow-loading archive version, not the actual site...and yes, Martina is right there near the top) Heck, you can even still download her.

Mmmmm... it's a catch 22, I don't want all the fancy features... but I want a high-res screen!

Very cool, hopefully he will join us at SJF

I wouldn't buy anything from Starbucks- they've virtually monopolised the entire centre of Edinburgh, driving all the independant cafes out of business and then quickly snapping up the empty premises. Shame on them.
