Will you share?
Can you post images 07 and 08 in your folder @ .Mac or send via iChat, or something?
Don't have Macromedia in OS X, just Photoshop 7.

heh, thanx. Sure, ill send those to u if u want. I wanted to create a background for those to make complete wallpapers. But it's useable now :0)
I exported bmps as 1280x1024. but in illustrator it's a snap to resize w/o quality loss. what res do u want?
I'll send it to u via AIM/ichat in about 15 mins.... I gotta eat.

Cool!
Did my first Audio AND Video iChatAV with kiwithewiki in UK today, a little lag half way across the globe, but very sharp and good sound. Totally awesome experience, almost like the first time using a phone.
We started droping files, images, email addresses, URLs, and stuff into the Text Box and poof! it goes right through at super speed. Amazing. So much better than text alone, or lowly email. I'm still shocked. The iSight can open up a totally new digital experience for everybody.
Now, I'm wondering if or HOW multiple parties can video conference. If I can Text Conference with multiple parties at the SAME TIME, why not Video? It's just not interrelated yet like a real 3-way phone conference call.

512MB of RAM should be considered the minimum for both OSX and XP. Both will run with much less but you will notice much pooer performance in many applications. This is because virtual memory needs to kick in often which slows down your system a great deal. Going well above 512MB isn't necessary for most applications. Get the extra 512MB module right away for your iBook.
