That was awesome (although he shoulda used an HTML5 audio to get the music 
going too, to heck with copyright).

I think you need JavaScript to actually make the text scroll though. CSS 
animations only kick in when JavaScript changes the property in question; they 
define the transition between the existing style, and the new style. (Actually 
come to think of it, the technical name for them might be Transitions, for this 
very reason. Transforms are for changing the shape of elements, which is how 
the Star Wars guy gave the text the Star Wars perspective.)

Anyhoo. Off-topic, apologies. Maybe we could make every e-mail display like the 
Star Wars text, WITH the music playing.

Yours sincerely,
Paul Waite
