It was brought to my attention that the BMP files included in my new cow textures were not opening for at least some PC users. The BMP files have been replaced with JPGs now, and there should be no more problem (I hope!) I apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced. Let me know if you have any trouble using them. And if you know why a BMP file created in Mac Painter 5.03 wouldn't open on a PC, please let me know that, too! :P The files opened in every Mac program I tried it in, including my Windows 95 emulator.

I just downloaded your cow textures a few minutes before I posted this- Your cow BMP's still don't work. I tried Photoshop, which didn't like them, them PhotoImpact, which usually opens nearly everything- still no luck. So I downloaded the SIT files and opened them in my Stuffit Expander PC version. Still didn't open in Photoshop- then realized that it was the wrong extension for PC- changed PICT to PCT and Photoshop SAW them and opened them just fine. But one last thing- Your Holstein is mixed up with your Jersey SIT. (Holsteins are the cute brown cows, while Jersey's appear on Gateway PC boxes- and TUCOWS)

Sorry Inkwolf, I shouldn't have doubted a guy from Wisconsin! Holsteins grace the Gateway-TUCOWS biz persona, while Jerseys are the cute brown ones! WHAT was I thinking? (Too much Egg Nog and Brandy...) Please, don't post any Chickens. Arguments over Road Island Reds, Delawares, etc. get especially heated here at Rendersosity...

I know... sorry, I meant Rhode Island Reds...

Speaking of chickens... (and I think I am the only one on Renderosity who was), here is my favorite FeatherSite...

Fox...i think you forgot to take your meds again... :O)
Y'all have a great day.

That's wierd...there should be jpegs in there now, rather than BMPs, and they should open for anyone. I really don't understand at all why this is happening. :( Has ANYBODY successfully downloaded the PC version?

JAFO- I AM taking my meds. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be happily talking to myself about cows and chickens...
