Thanks for that. I didn't fancy downloading Zone Alarm to test my speed config. I like Blueyonder, (my ISP) they keep upgrading the connections for NOTHING. When I first got connected to the Internet on broadband I was running at 128Kb/sec. But now, its 729.40 Kb/sec. Penny>> Bandwidth is the data flow between your computer and the Internet/ Intranet. Think of it like this, the number of ants that go between your computer and the Internet at the moment is 293 per second. Now, imagine each of those ants carrying a briefcase of information that is being taken out into the w3 (world wide web). Incoming and outgoing connections vary. For me, the outgoing connection is weeker than the incoming. This is because the data (or ants with briefcases) have a bit more of a challenge to get out there. They have to clime hills. The incoming flow is literally going down the hill of the w3. Channels of your connection is how many incoming or outgoing connections your modem/ computer can handle. This is based mostly on your bandwidth. The higher the bandwidth, the more or stronger channels you can have. For example, I can usually have 7 incoming channels of about 104Kb/sec each. In total, it comes to 729Kb/sec. That is if I don't play on the Internet whilst downloading. Since when did Xisto start having pop-up adverts??? Anyway, I just took a look at this page, so those with anomolies in there connection clock, look at the link below. http://www.arris.com/company/2wire?p=7 Notice from cmatcmextra: Merged double posts

Why are you confusing things? use GMT then +1, -1 format to find your current time: other time.

I'm glad I aint the only one that used freewebs as a beginning. I think that there are many great free web hosts out there, but it all depends on what you actually want or need. For example, Tripod and Freewebs are excellent for beginners, as something like Xisto or Xisto are a little more complex and advanced. The major designers and developers amongst us are better off with either a paid plan, or something Xisto with a paid DNS.

That is a little arrogant...

Where has the trust gone? It's like the money going to third world countries, down the drain. And I think he is aware of all the legal issues. And as icemarle pointed out, if it is COMMERCIAL brushes, then yes he can get done. However, this is entirely down to the owner's desretion, not yours.

...may take a while? my connection is deciding for itself how fast it goes. Im downloading at 156Kb/sec (if that is even possible on my connection) and then it will suddenly drop to 5Kb/sec. What is this world coming to?Cool brushes though, thanks. I'll sure to use them on my up-coming site.

Well, just signed up to it. I live in the UK, so I might be applicable to that offer. If it still on that is.

I don't understand that business. How can they make any profit through their workings. There must be something dodgy going on. Check there Policy before proceeding with any case against them. You never know how it might back-fire.

Doesn't matter, I think I got it wrong, but if I didn't, it means taking a solid coloured outline of the object you have selected. Just ignore me on that one.I just upgraded my PC (to windows 2K) so that I can use Photoshop CS, and I am stuck with it. So, thanks for the tutorial.

I am glad that corel took over Jasc. The product is really bad, even worse than paint.net. I could only just make a shape when the interface messed up.I am going to download a trial of Photoshop 7 and see how well that works.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I have downloaded a lot of grunge brushes, textures, filters etc for PSP.I'll try it out later (PSP) and I will give you a sample sig of what it can produce by a newbie.

Lol. It is a boy though. Just with girlish features. I have just baught Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8.1, so maybe soon I can eventually make cooler stuff.

Its not the amount of work nor the way it is put together that holds the project up. It is everything. Biscuitrat's may be easy to put together in other programs, but the elegance and sophistication of it holds presidence. I agree though, a lot of work was put into Truefusion's and it may have taken a while. If the two images had been of similar style, then I would have gone for TrueFusion's.

I have to say that I find the one I did for Johnny the best it was also the first I made from that set.
