I hope this doesn't discourage John from including future animated about boxes. I think it's sad that some would condemn an author's personalization of a program just for disk space. I feel that the "about box" of a program (at least in freeware) should be an open forum for the programmer to express him or herself as he or she sees fit. 20K is a small price to pay for this program (in relation to its functionality) to recognize the people who brought it to us. -- / George D.
