Thanks, everyone, for the comments of appreciation.  It was a lot of hard work, but your accolades made it very worthwhile.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

UVDan, I previously posted this animation at www.changestorm.com where he had it in all kinds of formats for viewing, including for dial-up modems.  You can try that site, but the last time I checked it the site seemed to be experiencing troubles.  (BTW, I finally got "broadband" myself just a few weeks ago in the form of a new laptop with a built-in verizon EVDO card.  My home PC is still a dial-up unit, as the laptop is a business expense but my home PC is on my  nickle, and I just can't afford the extra 20 or 30 bucks a  month.  Sigh...)
