Sanford Kennedy:
I will upload a project file of part of the "city"
I am doing a couple of neighborhoods. I'm naming streets, etc.
Like Sim City, but in 3D Studio.
Bill Batchelor:
… it would be kinda' interesting if a project was passed around and
members contributed geometry, maps, etc. to merge into it….
Max Ehrlich:
I have some office space for rent…. if any one is interested ….
Sanford Kennedy:
I wonder if the zoning laws will allow the construction of a Virtual
Office building on Forum property?
Paul Sanford:
What if anyone interested took a block, or a corner of oldcity.3ds?
Put up your own high-rise (238 floors), open a store (Mutants Are Us),
put some people/creatures out front, vehicles, signs, etc…
If people are interested in contributing, I could do the "zoning," ….
StudioCity 2000. Anyone interested?
Kevin Gibson:
Can we do this without politicians? Say yes, please. However, If we must
have a mayor, then I want to toss my hat into the ring.
Food for Thought, Inc. would like to express its interest in establishing
a meeting place where edibles and good company can be found.
The operating name is John's Joint.
Food for Thought, Inc. would also operate the Korner NewsStand
where the citizens of StudioCity 2000 can find yet another news alternative.
Finally, I, personally, am interested in establishing a dance studio called
The Virtual Ballroom, where I would continue my work as dance instructor.
Landscaping would be minimal. Just some mirrors, big windows and a few
Wild Palms.
Thought should be given to "green space," something I have found lacking
in other virtual communities. Perhaps a rural area adjacent to
StudioCity 2000 could be studied and implemented.
Regarding the rural landscape:
The S.O.B. Network is interested in sponsoring a roadside attraction known as
"Billy Bob's Snake Farm and Cajun BBQ," where I would perform my alligator
wrestling act on weekends.
May I suggest that a committee be formed immediately.
The StudioCity 2000 Development Committee.

P.S. Or we could just respond to the following
message #: 137468
Sb: Need VR World Designers
To: All
Virtual World Designers Needed
Enter Television, a Silicon Valley based company that is creating
3D Virtual Reality environments, needs to fill two lead artists positions.
Artists must be experienced 3D Studio users, with an Art, Illustrator,
or Architectural background and have a strong artistic sense.
Well, I guess that rules me out. I've been told I have no sense…
The idea sound GREAT! I have tried to get this forum to do a community forum
project before but there was little response. I wanted to do a Virtual forum
portrait with each member contributing a 3D reprentation of himself. (This
didn't need to be a realistic representation, only figuative.)
The idea of a virtual city sounds like a fun idea. Maybe you could make the
streets and sites. Block out the city with rectangular masses. Each member
could be assigned one mass which he or she may fill with an architectural
design. The new building would then replace the massed object.

Kevin,
By chance I am interested in this universe we are about to inhabit. I
would be happy to contribute and reflect back what i can. There are a great
many quality used brains on this forum. Financing available after test drive.
The things I have done are not finished, but have gathered momentul in
parallel since I was first stung by a bee.
I'll be uploading my office shortly. file will be NAMGUB.ZIP. That's
bugman spelled backwards. My Corporate Identity will be NAMGUB INC. of Los
Angeles-V, CIS, Earth.
Sanford
Sanford,
Arrgh! I don't have time for this BUT I can't pass it up!!! We'll contribute a
neat little robot and corporate headquarters to fit a TEXAS size lot!!!
Also, anybody think about how much horsepower is going to be needed to render a
monumental fly thru??? With a little help from our friends we could take on the
task with a few of our 'Render Jungle' machines. In other words – animators,
don't cut anything due to lack of horsepower… Let's push the envelope…
Matt / AM Labs
Matt,
What a great guy! A fly through could be spectacular if some of the
artists on this forum really let themselves go on their offices/structures and
I think this kind of demo would turn Many heads at the next Siggraph.
Sanford
Dear Mr. Mayor,
I've got to complain about the giant cockroaches that are
clogging up the city. Please tell Mr. Kennedy to knock off the mad
scientist thing. Its bad for business.
Dear Mr. Mayor,
Please remind Paul Sanford that cockroaches are the most
economical cleam-up professionals we could find. I realize that it
takes some getting used to, but the alternative would probably some
tall, hairy primate.
How's the weather? We have weather control…we're too lazy to have
anything but good weather. Studio City 2000 needs a coffee shop.
Check out my upload file NAMGUB.ZIP… a free mesh of my office and
some other buildings. I am starting Bugman's Coffee Klatch where the
placemats are floppy disks.
Sanford free entertainment begins soon. NAMGUB
should be in the Mesh Library monday.
Mr. Paul Sanford,
Your complaint regarding Mr. Kennedy's cockroaches has reached my office.
Quite frankly, I don't know what to do with it.
It is addressed to the Mayor of StudioCity 2000, but to my knowledge
there is no mayor at this time.
*My activities* are presently limited to those identified with my positions
as cheerleader and court jester.
We seem to recall you volunteering for the office of Zoning Coordinator.
Perhaps this matter is best handled by you. We suggest contacting
Mr. Kennedy directly. He seems like a reasonable, although odd man.
Besides, you guys share a name. You should get along fabulously.
In any event, it is highly advisable that you and he convene a meeting of the
StudioCity 2000 Development Committee [SC2000 DEVCOM] as soon as possible
to discuss this matter as well as issues and interests raised by
Messrs. Batchelor, McClary and Ehrlich. I would be glad to attend.

Kevin,
Up late working on standard cubic block as plotted by Sanford Kennedy
Design, file name NAMGUB.ZIP as provided as city homesteadable in perpetuity
and to all assigns and heirs a single cubic lot to build on/in which should be
available in cubic multiples not to exceed a population of more than 2.5 people
per lot with a .5 creature allowance for Aliens, Pets, Robots and, of course,
each new owner must provide a facial DXF file of their features as a mesh
signature stored in the deed bank.
A set of simple plans will be uploaded as NAMGB2.ZIP in two days. It
acan be merged with NAMGUB.3DS to see the plans on my desk in my office. You
can leave visual replies or a model. Type is OK and the legal type is sanserif,
unless someone wants to suggest a better typeface for the new planning offices
and a new/used car lot I am building a lot over from Namgub Inc. I am preparing
a facial mesh of me for payment of the deed along with a property description
of my claim and its dinensions. Also my vacation place at the lake and the
HOLLYWOOD ADVENTURE THEME PARK on the way from Namgub Inc.
Regards,
Sanford, acting City Planner [CThis is not an
act.
Sounds like a weiner I would also like to join in
Setting a scale for unit size early on might be a good Idea
How bout folks start with a vacant lot and a certain sum of virtual bucks? Any
one could could create a structure or space and and based on the location,
asthetics, and number of square feet of rentable space they would recieve a
monthly virtual rent check that they could put towards buying more lots and
building more spaces.
Does this sound like an unmanageable administrative nightmare?
Ever read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson?

Max, PMJI
Is this for _real_ ? Are you guys really going to build a virtual city?
If so count me in! I'd be glad to build some buildings, cars, android etc. And
if its good enough, the Yoster willing, maybe we could get it on the Cover of
R5, what do you think?
If this is just ether entertaiment, please excuse my virtual intrusion. <g>
John
Hi John,
Yes, this is real! Please see my message "StudioCity zoning ideas." I
think a walk-through of the town would be quite a hit at SIGGRAPH. 🙂
Paul S.
One-half of the Sanford development team.
Paul,
>> Yes this is real! <<
Well count me in guy! <g> I've got "People" to contribute and whatever else
you'd like to see built. I could do a building or a car or ? Just let me know.
I'll leave it to you as "Planning Commissioner". <g> I thought about doing some
"Bat like Winged Sub humans". That would be for a Gothic theme, which could
also incorporate a "futurist" theme. Kinda like a Futurist Retro Gothic. <g>.
Anyway I can commit to doing at least a few models and I think its a great
idea!
John
Hi John,
Thanks for the enthusiasm! I'm starting a thread called StudioCity 2000
DEVCOM to air questions and answers about a variety of issues for this group
project. Maybe you'd care to give/seek input on themes? Gothic sounds cool.
Paul S.
Paul,
I'll follow up on your thread StudioCity DEVCOM and input as appropriate. I
have a good feeling about your project and would like to contribute in whatever
capacity seems appropriate. It is my hope that you will be able to pull it all
together and make it work. For my part I will contribute some models to the end
result. I hope many other people will contribute and get behind it in whatever
way they are able and that it will be fun for all involved.
Regards,
John
John
It sounds cool doesn't it?
I think it started as Kevin babbling but it does have
some interesting potential so maybe if there is enough
interest and someone ready to take the initiative it
will progress beyond its current state of just an amusing
thread to a bustling metropolis.
ME
Max, John, Andrew, Sanford, James, Paul, David and all…
Max said, "I think it started as Kevin babbling ….."
Thank you for the acknowledgement. But I cannot take credit for the idea.
The actual name was proposed by Paul Sanford who now appears to be insulted
by the thought that I am receiving credit for this. This is exactly why I
didn't think arbitrarily appointing anyone as mayor was a good idea.
Already miscommunication has resulted in political wrangling.
And Paul Sanford has mob ties. 😮 I don't want him getting upset with me
and sending in the goons. <G> I've even worked hard to stay on
Sanford Kennedy's good side just so he won't sick his insects on me.
Maybe I'm a better politician than I give myself credit for. 🙂
** A little historical perspective:
There were several posts, all under the name "Help with explode.axp",
a totally inappropriate title, and they were not part of a thread.
They were spread out all over the place. As a group, we need to learn how
to reply to messages within a thread, rather than start multiple threads,
in order to facillitate ease of communications. No one likes having to
search unnecessarily throughout the forum for important messages while the
clock ticks away a few more dollars. Already there are multiple threads
with the name "StudioCity 2000." This concerns me, because if the message
is not addressed to you, you will not know it is here unless you search for
it. Especially if it's hidden behind a name like "Help with explode.axp."
Believe it or not, there are hundreds of people who never even read the
messages in Take 5. Case in point, Bugman has never been to John's Joint. 🙂
So, what I did was assemble the scattered messages into one post.
I stuck it up here noting that I thought it was a good idea and I wanted to
keep it alive. I gave it Paul Sanford's concoction "StudioCity 2000."
It is a an appropriate title, one that I knew would catch your eyes.
I thought their was merit in the collection of ideas.
I cited each individual by name, giving credit where credit was due.
And I threw in my two cents.
I am going to repost that note as a reply to this one, even though the
original is still up here, because some people don't know how to look back
in time on this board. We really need to learn how to use the power that's
at our fingertips!
I am absolutely thrilled at the response.
As you say, it does have "some interesting potential."
But it has already progressed beyond "just an amusing thread."
I've spent several hours, and a lot of my own money, in the last few days,
consulting with individuals behind the scenes. I didn't know whether or not
people would be motivated to participate, so I thought I'd try to provide
some incentive. The results of my endeavors will be visible in the days to
come. However, it is now clear that my efforts may not have been necessary.
We have a group of well-respected, highly talented individuals chomping at
the bit to be part of this venture. Please maintain your interest.
It would be nice to see something so positive and constructive develop.
I've been responding to messages several times a day in this forum and
my CompuServe bill is fast approaching a level of intolerance. But my
slow response to the last couple of posts in this thread were due to a lot
of work I've been doing elsewhere. I'm waiting for an after action report
from the Virtual Reality conference in New York. Recent developments
there may provide us with the vehicle to navigate the worlds we are building.
Has any one of you seen the navigator in Autodesk CDK Rel. 2?
Has anyone thought about MicronGreen's NAVFLYER as a vehicle to navigate
StudioCity 2000 in? And what about Eagle Point's product?
Further my time has been spent aiding Mike White in preparing a collection of
messages on SDP's SXP IPAS for upload. I am glad to see that many have found
the fruits of my labor helpful. Because of my recent emergence in this forum
I am now involved in doing some public relations work for SDP and a few other
concerns. All non-paid volunteer work.
I spent part of my morning talking with the mad scientist Mr. Kennedy and
this afternoon with White. I have calls in to Paul Sanford and others.
My jests here are in keeping with my forum identity, but I will gladly put
the humor aside. Many of you are not aware that Sanford Kennedy and I have
been posting to each other for months, and in my first post to him, I called
him Bugman and in his next post he signed off Bugs-R-Us.
That is where the Klowns-R-Us tag came from.
I felt awkward with Sanford's suggestion that I serve as mayor.
I did not want to discourage anyone from participating in "StudioCity 2000"
by having it perceived as being controlled by any one individual.
Especially someone who has served as forum clown.
But I am quite capable of being serious.
My initiation of this thread with the title "StudioCity 2000" was one of
several posts I've made with the hopes of getting group activities going.
I had also attempted to get a contest going soliciting creative uses of
Video Post batch files. I also thought the initial group reaction to
David Camp's IPAS newsletter was worth supporting. And I thought
Joseph Munkeby's BONES IPAS was worth my spending a few minutes on.
Point is: I'm more than tounge-in-cheek.
My suggestion was and is that a committee be formed.
The StudioCity 2000 Development Committee.
Issues such as those being raised by Messrs. Coulter, Kennedy and Sanford
regarding file size, zoning and cooperation should be addressed early on,
before development is rampant.
That is not going to slow Mr. Kennedy down. He has his own agenda which may
dovetail nicely with the idea of developing oldcity.3ds or pcacity.3ds should
we pursue that. Bugman is creating several virtual worlds as part of a
long-range plan that involves his own commercial pursuits. He has expressed
his interest in cooperating with a group in developing StudioCity 2000, but
his Virtual Los Angeles involves his own ideas for ventures that will have a
price tag attached to them in the future. If he follows through with his
plans, you will be paying to ride the rides at HOLLYWOOD ADVENTURE THEME PARK.
Everyone should meet at John's Joint for a healthy discussion over heaping
servings of Red Beans and RIGHTS.
Among the alternatives I've contemplated was asking Autodesk to open a
teleconference room and let us hash this out online. But I don't think
that is cost effective nor the best way of approaching the matter.
But a less trafficked area than Take 5, one befitting the serious nature
of our intentions might be in order. Mr. SysOp?

Here is my suggestion:
We begin a list of questions that need to be answered.
Similar to a wishlist. They shouldn't have arguments attached, rather
the post should just put forth the question.
JUST QUESTIONS With Line numbers. I will be posting an example today.
Answers to the questions raised should be posted as responses.
We need not answer every question before proceeding,
but the questions should at least be asked.
A "StudioCity 2000 Development Brochure" outlining "how to become involved"
will result and it will be posted here and in the library.

The following is excerpted from the posts that started this thread.
It is placed here in order to clear up any misconceptions about
where "StudioCity 2000" had it's origins.
The earliest ideas regarding this current iteration of a virtual community
are rooted in Sanford Kennedy's musings. They were found in the IPAS Usage
subject area under a thread titled "Help with Explode.AXP" and were part of
an exchange between he and Bill Batchelor. Paul Sanford conceived of the
name. And I, the ever-present cheerleader, said "Go Team, Go Team Go":
Sanford Kennedy: (#136830 S1/IPAS Usage #Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94)
I will upload a project file of part of the "city" I am doing
a couple of neighborhoods. I'm naming streets, etc.
Like Sim City, but in 3D Studio.
Max Ehrlich: (#136886 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94)
I have some office space for rent…. if any one is interested ….
Bill Batchelor: (#136911 S1/IPAS Usage #Help with Explode.AXP 11/18/94)
… it would be kinda' interesting if a project was passed around
and members contributed geometry, maps, etc. to merge into it….
Sanford Kennedy:(#136979 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/19/94)
I wonder if the zoning laws will allow the construction of a Virtual
Office building on Forum property?
Paul Sanford: (#136991 S12/Take 5/Want Ads Help with Explode.AXP 11/19/94)
What if anyone interested took a block, or a corner of oldcity.3ds?
Put up your own high-rise (238 floors), open a store (Mutants Are Us),
put some people/creatures out front, vehicles, signs, etc…
If people are interested in contributing, I could do the "zoning," ….
StudioCity 2000. Anyone interested?
Kevin Gibson:( from #:137912 S12/Take 5/Want Ads #StudioCity 2000 11/25/94 )
( Citing all of the above comments I added my own two cents. )
( I ) would like… a meeting place where edibles and good company
can be found… The operating name is John's Joint.
… I… am interested in establishing ….The Virtual Ballroom,
Thought should be given to "green space,"…. Perhaps a rural area
adjacent to StudioCity 2000 could be studied and implemented.
Can we do this without politicians? Say yes, please. However,
If we must have a mayor, then I want to toss my hat into the ring.
May I suggest… The StudioCity 2000 Development Committee.

Tap Dancing my way across the Virtual Minefield… er, Ballroom
Hi Kevin,
It was great talking to you on the phone again. As a matter of public
record, I'd like to thank you for your efforts on and off the forum to develop
a unified and democratic approach to this idea. As I said, I was not so much
worried about loss of credit for my ideas as I was of the possible lack of an
orderly approach to multiple project merging.
I think you'd eventually make an ideal mayor, not to say you should be IN
CHARGE, but just because you're really good at shaking hands and public
"speaking." Heck, I bet you've even kissed some babies.
I hearby nominate you to be acting threadmaster, helping us all use our
CIS software more effectively, and generally keeping us together. I will be
starting a thread with the title "StudioCity 2000 DEVCOM" to help us address
questions that need to be answered by the "development committee" (anyone who
wants to give input) to aid in a seamless merging of files, ideas, themes,
looks, etc…
I'm too sleepy to remember if there was anything else I should mention
here. Still waiting to hear from Sanford Kennedy.
As a general note to all interested people who haven't merged files:
Merged entities will retain their exact x,y,z coordinates to the world system
they are merged into. If everyone involved in a project like this places their
entities in one spot on their personal master project file (based on the master
master project), uploads it to the library… when downloaded and merged by
another person into their personal master project, the new entities will be
correctly placed. Thus everyone's pesonal master project starts identically,
and is "built" by the creation of your own entities and/or the merging of other
developers' files into your personal master file. Thus, the basis for a
customizeable yet consistent project file for all.
Time to get some sleep,

Thanks for the vote of confidence Paul. I accept duties as thread guy.
I'm going to paraphrase what you wrote and ask if I understand what you said.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
StudioCity 2000 Central MasterFile – Merge Help – World Coordinate System –
There will be a StudioCity 2000 Central MasterFile.
It will employ a world coordinate system.
All StudioCity 2000 developers will start
with a personal master project file
based on the original and employing the same coordinate system.
Entities will be developed on plots identified by x,y,z coordinates
which will remain a constant throughout the project.
Participants will develop their plots and upload them to the library.
Others will be able to download them and
the entities will thus merge correctly in place.
Construction and merging of the cooperative efforts proceeds
in an orderly yet customizable fashion.
StudioCity Central will maintain and update the MasterFile
and make sure that it is available to participants as required.
Did I get it right?
Kevin Gibson
Animation Nation <tm> -= It's a state of mind. =-
Hi Kevin,
Concerning the city master file: I can see two ways to go with this, I
posted a question in DEVCOM to seek feedback. My initial vision was for a
fairly low-res city, like oldcity.3ds, but customized. In this vision the
master project file would be basically the street layout, with plots of land
delineated and numbered. This would be downloaded by all interested
developers. Once a developer is cleared to develop a tract of land, they do
so, basically expanding their personal project file. When done with their
tract, they save their project file, then go in and delete everything that
isn't new, except for a few reference points on the map. They also
double-check to make sure they've followed all organizational requirements.
This smaller file is then uploaded to the library. Another person can then
download this new file and merge it onto their own project file. The "master"
file in the library does not change; it is just a common starting point. Each
person's project file at home, in essence, becomes THE master project file as
long as they download everyone else's tracts and don't manipulate anything.
People can render views at their leisure, and some nice images can be uploaded
to the libs for all to enjoy.
It might be useful for someone to upload their "master" project file
ocassionally, so new developers don't need to do countless merges to get up to
date.
A second vision of this city could be more involved, with a lower
likliehood that everyone interested would be downloading everything, because of
the increased complexity, rendering time, and CIS time involved. In this
scenario, there would be the same master file in the libs as a basis for
development for everyone. But there would also be a Keeper of the Project, who
was responsible for downloading everything and merging it, and arranging for
rendering sample views to put in the libs. This may be more of the vision you
and Sanford Kennedy have been discussing, especially if this becomes some kind
of highly photorealistic venture.
See ya,

I am going to reply to several items at once, so please bear with me. I should
also mention that I have lurked long enough to take the time to go back to the
beginning and follow the thread to the present – the the point being that I
_am_ trying to stay on top of this and not jump in uninformed.
1) Has this evolved into a closed group with commercial interests or is it
still intended to be a collaboration of people willing to contribute to a
wonderful concept ?
2) If it is still open to all, are you going to stop long enough to visit
politely and make the decisions needed to get underway ? Perhaps the suggested
compilation of a list of concerns ?
3) Is it really necessary to change your name in the "From" field all the time
? That's another item that makes the thread tough to follow – right up there
with multiple posting areas.
4) The immediate issuance of multiple lots to a single person should be
carefully addressed – do you or do you not want as many different people to
participate as possible ?
5) Is anyone irritated with me yet ? <G>
I really am sincere in these questions. I ran a BBS long enough once to realize
how incredibly difficult it is to be properly understood in the online world. I
also realize that the beauty of what we do, and what we want to do, needs an
outlet. The very fact that a group of people are willing to take the time to
get online, to read messages, to respond, to turn around and generate models to
release to the public domain, to spend money to give them away… you get the
idea. You're dedicated to somthing that is as much an art as it is a science;
and I believe we all can use more art, more creative freedom in our lives. So I
implore the originator(s) of this concept to bring it to fruition, to share it
with others and to let it be what it has the potential to be, regardless of
whether it serves a personal purpose or generates recognition. Do something
beautiful just because you can.
And of course, I would like to formally request my lot. If possible,
commercial; if not, residential is always fun work, too.

Another lurker emerges from the ethereal vapors.
Welcome to the StudioCity 2000 Development Committee.
We've been saving you a seat, Mr. Hogan.
It's obvious you've been paying attention… Look! Line numbers. 🙂
1) StudioCity 2000 should be a collaboration of people.
2) It is still open to all.
It's been proposed that we approach development with an eye toward
preventing problems before they arise by asking and answering
as many questions as possible. I sense you agree.
* A compilation of questions will result in the issuance of a survey.
* A deadline for submitting the completed survey will be set.
* A discussion of the proposed solutions will ensue.
* A vote will resolve differences.
* A set of guidelines will result.
* They will be posted and a Development Brochure uploaded to the library.
Anyone wishing to participate in the project will thus have a ready
reference, which can be updated as necessary, in order to facillitate
some semblance of order for the inner city.
The suburbs will be wildly organic. 😮
3) What's in a name? Sorry, I couldn't resist. If the name changing has
caused confusion, I apologize. If you've been lurking long enough, you'd
know it's part of my chameleon-like identity. I'm a mutant in mid-morph.
The name changing is part of my efforts to shake things up in the forum
and to add a little levity. As I've already stated, I'm willing to put the
Klown act aside so we can get down to business. But, Don, I reserve the
right to wear my big red nose on occasion and if I continue to look
like a schizophrenic in other areas of the forum, don't be disappointed.
You'll still be able to recognize me by my tatoo… 75313,620.
4) I, also, want to encourage participation by as many people as possible.
No lots have been issued yet. The confusion ensues from the fact that
Sanford Kennedy is an incredibly prolific and creative person who, while
between Hollywood projects, is developing his vision which can be
incorporated into the StudioCity 2000 project as the group sees fit.
His worlds could be accessed by entering a door or portal that is part of
the StudioCity 2000 model. There is no reason why others can't do the same.
5) Yeah… right. BTW, I like the badge.
Your interest in a lot is noted. I'd like to echo your sentiments,
quoting less than I really want to…
"… the beauty of what we do, and what we want to do, needs an outlet. "
"You're dedicated to something that is as much an art as it is a science;
and I believe we all can use more art, more creative freedom in our lives."
"So I implore the originator(s) of this concept to bring it to fruition,
to share it with others and to let it be what it has the potential to be,
regardless of whether it serves a personal purpose or generates recognition.
Do something beautiful just because you can."

That it does! Like I mentioned to Paul I'd definitely be willing to contribute
some models, much more than that I doubt I'd have time for. Somebody willing to
take on the Choreography and "Look" could make a lot of a variety of
contributions. And I think it would be very entertaining. <g>
Are you interested in creating some models as well? Or are you more interested
in the storyline/theme?

Hi Max,
Please see my message "StudioCity zoning ideas" and give me some feedback.
As far as an economy, whoa! That would be an administrative nightmare,
wouldn't it? Are you volunteering? <g>

My ancestors are from Sanfordville, MN, not Massachusettes like other Sanford's
perhaps.
Dear acting city council,
My company, whose new name is as yet unanounced, would like to build our
corporate headquarters in your new city. We would like preliminary
specifications on a building site. Please provide the following information to
our outstanding group of engineers (IOW, me):
1) The dimentions of a rectangle or square that would represent the base area
of our building site (please subtract frontage necessary for roads and
sidewalks).
2) The current maximum polygons and MB of textures per site.
3) Limitations, if any, on Plug-In usage which might otherwise inhibit guests
from visiting our wonderful new city.
Regards,

How is the Asoft photo yearbook coming?

I'm the son of a Sanford, but not a Kennedy.

Will do.
> How is the Asoft photo yearbook coming?<
Not too bad. I still need some more photos to fill up the first page. Look
for a post on the subject in the next day or two.
