Matt wasn't kidding about the poster business. Barb just made a pdf on her new duo 2 core 2.16 GHz mac. It renders pretty fast there. Massive tho ... natural size is 72 x 170 inches. It will be interesting stuff if we can display it correctly. Half size might be usable. I sent the pdf to Matt; hope it comes thru.
