Am I the first to >think of this? (I doubt it; there is nothing new on the 'Net...) I think I remember a thread like this a year back. I saw a series of pictures that showed how to do the Tower of Hanoi or a Rubriks Folding Thingy. I thought this was a neat way of getting cheap flick-book animation without having to draw squillions of frames per second, and it let the viewer run the animation at the speed they liked within their news reader. There is a drawback. Apparently not all newsreaders stop at a page-break. Only some of us would be able to see it. Q - What newsreaders do not stop at pagebreaks? Is it an option that could be enabled on some? Cheers. adBBba. Ba. A ~VgooodB ,B B. B b ,B" _ S"b B.Bb .dBb .B dBBB. B.aP" _"B. JB.aPb BaP" .B B .JB? B B. B.BBV B B BK. B BP'BCaP' B `YaaP' VBP B B?
