Attached Link: Furbenstein
is called "Furbenstein" and it's up at Ifilm. It's mostly live action, but there's ten seconds of animation at the end using our beloved tools (with a brand new poser character!). Ifilm compressed this using real media and it looks terrible on a 26000 kbs connection. Hopefully you'll have better luck. This isn't meant to be the next Star Wars or anything. Hopefully you'll find it cute. Here's the link: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/skeletons/film_detail/0,1263,446045,00.html I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd send this link to a friend or family member to enjoy and ask them to pass it on. Thanks, Arthur

26000 kbs Isn't that an incredibly fast connection? Or is there an extra k in there? I think my cable modem only does 500 kbps.

Your cable modem is very slow if it only does 500kbs ... that's roughly only 62K/sec. Much better than dial-up of course, which is a whopping 4 to 5k per second. But the specification for cable modems is 1500 to 3000 kbs, which translates to 180-375K per second! I have actually hit speeds of 400+ K per second!! That's a megabyte every 2.5 seconds! But it has to be a decent website or ftp site with relatively low usage at the time. Anyway, there you go. -Tim
