What the hell kind of alien technology are you playing with, Jim?

Supposedly 1.5 gig cable. Never runs that hot, since not many can or will
feed it that fast. :-)

58 seconds for my Cox cable connection.

Still not Industrial Light and Magic, but a first step, anyway.

3D San Antonio sectional rendered on a rotating sphere.
aka: what cowboy astronauts think the world looks like.

Some people are already wondering, "Why? Why would anybody do that?"

Well, that's an interesting question.

No executables, dlls, etc. involved.
It's just an animated Gif.

I really did work at keeping the file size down.
But I dare say this one is for the fast lane exclusively.

Sounds like you have gif animation disabled?

Or was that 8 seconds to load the first frame
and we're still waiting in the next one???

It must be disabled -- now to figure out ----how to enable it . probably
a setting hidden somewhere I spoze . I built the puter, but windows
software humiliates me on a regular basis.

5.227 seconds till the globe appeared and _started_ (jumpily) to rotate.
42.713 seconds til the download was complete, and the smooth rotation
kicked in.


Thats on a 1.5mbit/768k DSL -- 'theoretical maximum' download speed
would be about 39.5 seconds.
