You're right, it's so limited and unsupported by it's creators.

Hi Art,
It appears we have been side tracked a bit on this thread.

Thanks for the information on Windows 7. It's a shame, they've been a part of windows for so long but I rather have a good system than the agents, I suppose.

I used to breed hamsters when I was a kid and sell the excess youngers to the local pet shop.
I remember learning how to cross breed different species of rodent from the experience and books. I accomplished crossing a hamster with a rat.
It was done by taking one of the young from either the rat or the hamsters' litter and putting it into the other species nest with their young. Take away the parent from the nest your putting it into, before hand for a couple of hours so the inserted youngster would aquire the scent and then replace the mother to nurture it. She will bring it up as a hamster or a rat, depending on which litter you put it into.
When the young rat/hamster grew to maturity, it thought it was from that species so it mated, producing a cross species.
I've never done it with mice but I have heard of people crossing them with gerbols.

It appears a very interesting application. I decided after opening it to read the more indepth desciption (it always helps), as I was expecting something different.
The images in the Hall of Fame are excellent, especially the one that took four and a half days to render. This is one application to become more familiar with.
There's plenty of stuff appearing now to fill my empty time with ... there will be no idle hands here to make work for the devil after all ... hahaha.

This sounds like a very interesting project to develop. I haven't scripted anything in a while and this appears to be something that's well within my capabilities. I'm going to give it a go.

Sweetalker, have you enabled your mic button? This allows you to respond to HAL with speech. If it is, HAL will only give you so long before it responds, whether you have inputted your whole sentence or not. Try turning it off when you are just typing in information.

When you're a jack of all trades, it's hard to specialize in one.

I've just read up and downloaded this Povray program, I'd never heard of it, until you just mentioned it in your post. It's sounds interesting a re-release of Ray Trace. That was once an industry standard in the printing world as I recall.
I'll have to give it a try. I've been using Blender for altering the meshes of game characters (I've become a Fallout 3 fan), which is also free and see which I like the most.

Phew!!! Lucky it's a church group you're playing to .... They're so polite and you know there'll not be a bad word mentioned. It's always much better when your debute performance is to an agreeable audience .... There'll not be one dry eye in the parish hall that evening.

I was impressed by the youtube video (but I reckon that guy needs a bigger instrument with those chunky fingers of his) and a couple of other versions that was in the list that followed. Do you consider that you will be able to perform it before Christmas? (4 days to go) You'll have to film yourself and youtube it so I can see how well you had accomplished your goal. Is it planned as some special xmas perfomance? (a big get together in the town square)

I know you, you'll breeze through them all. You like a challenge.

What are the other 4 projects that you are toying around with at the moment? Something ingenius and thought provoking, I reckon.

It's like riding a bike, once you get into it, it all comes back to you.
I was thinking, maybe you could make a MSAGENT of a real person by using the frames from movie files.

I thought I'd drop in and see what was happening here and maybe get back into script writing again, now that I have got some time on my hands.

Hi Baerdric,
I know that Ulead GIF animator allows you to save each frame of a GIF animation as a BMP and does it easily in one step. It also permits you to do the same with AVIs and other such movie files.
