Think there is any way we could get him to do it for us, he's great at making these sort of things.

So Gary if we had a good enough set of pictures etc you could make it for us?

Is there anywhere we could get pictures good enough. Also, how many would you need

Hi

I found pictures of two different globes, but they are probably too small and not very good.

Gary what's your e-mail and I'll send you them.

If you can get an AVI/MPEG screensaver program, then use tinRA to convert a RM file of it (I think Asa had an extended closedown on TVHome) into an AVI, then set the screensaver program to play that AVI file on loop - It worked for me with the 1985 COW

The problem is with the screensaver is that the AVI alone is 12Mb, plus the screensaver program puts it up to around 15Mb - slightly too large to send out! Sorry!
It's easy enough to make one for yourself though - go to Download.com to get an AVI screensaver, and use tinRA to make an AVI of the COW. I have the RM file, but it belongs to Asa so I can't really distribute it to you.
