Anyways since nobody has not given the answer for over three years. The software might have been Toon Boom, Flash MX ( which has been replaced ) which can use variety of Mathematical resizable images. Mathematical resizable images ( meaning images made with drafting software like, Adobe Illustrator, or Ink Scape any SVG/SGV creation tool. Even the Amiga has tools that can make images like these. The images could have been made in any photoshop ( including version 1.0 ) for which the resolution is extremely high. It could also be made in any number of graphic editors. Everything in this animation started out as messy and rough, pencil drawings, including the animation. itself, called an Anomotion. An anomotion is a messy run of the animation itself. Do the math The sound was either done first, or afterwards, usually done first to the series of events. The graphical effects was done in fireworks, or another special effects program. Whatever the Chinese used at the Olympics.

By flickering you mean to say when you exit sleep mode, or turn the computer on? This happens with a Vista machine I am using. Everytime I switch displays, it flickers like three to four times. What I assume, this is Vista attempting to aline itself with the attached display devices/device. I have three devices attached to the computer, plus a high end graphics card. It flickers like three times, for the three VGA connectors, and one time for the graphics card. Another assumtion is that I am using an adapter for the graphics card. My Windows 9x and pre-Vista machines does not do this at all, unless I hit the display utility ( the graphics card display devices, settings ). Again i assume it is Vista checking the display settings, and what is attached to it. It might also reset or go back to the "RGB please plug gerder" screen sometimes. It also happens when I use "Windows Classic" program in Vista, with a different color setting?

My ideas on sleep mode. My ideas on sleep mode, avoid using it, and grow tentacles. The only people who should worry about sleep mode, are people who want to access their computer from afar. I doubt any office setting has computers using sleep mode, without them damaging from time to time.

I tried that recently, after my current situation became "1984". I suggest trying WINE to see if that works out for you. EVERYTHING I TYPE BELOW IS OPINION FROM EXPERIENCE ................. 2000 with updates, and fixes ( for fooling later XP, programs to install ) should do a person good, when wanting to play games from Pre-2005 at least. However I do not know about games like Half-life 2, or later games in comparison to higher rez stuff. The reason why I tried to use it, was to have an environment that is both 9x and NT freindly, but apparently that is not the case. Win 2000 has memory limitations ( as shown on this board ) as well as file count problems. In my case I have like a gazillion different files, which will cause a problem with the files. There should be a fix for this as well, but so far I don't know. The benifit of having 2000 is having the power of XP but with less garbage inside. However XP so far, seems to be a more stable OS then 2000, but then again the crap. ,,,,,,,,,,, 9x is good if your heavy invested in DOS applications, and have access to the exe files collections this system is great. One of many problem with computers back then is the size of language files ( or something like that ) which made playing import games hell. Meaning if you are playing a Japanese type installation ( like say an 1999 era RPG that was also released on PSX as well as Win9x ) you will have problems with getting the game to run withot closing, on you ( because the game detects the language and stuff that I am not sure of ), or you run a floppy disk, meant for another nations Win9x. If you had a hard drive with DOS only, and the correct drivers, for each program and their settings, It would be heavan with a notebook beside the machine. That is the problem working with DOS. You need to know how to access etc, otherwise a person has to join the homer simpson gang. 95 fixes the memory leak but leaves you with a memory build up in 98. 98 ( for I do not know what is the difference ) has a whole slew of programs that are unale to run on 95. 98 problem and greatest attribute is the IE, why it is a problem I do not know, maybe privacy, or something else ( somebody could make me understand ). ....... Why not ME? Because I tried to change many settings in ME, but for some reason from time to time, I get an error that leads to my data being destroyed, or damaged. Why ME? Because many of the support files for the 2000/XP/NT can also load on ME as well. Amazingly that is the one fact I love about ME, until it lost support of the mentioned. ........... So all in all, without extremly high resolution ( HD ) imagery, Without all this crap about video, internet, and vid phone etc. I would go for the Windows 9x, and then from their decide which one shoudl suit me. However if I want support of some XP stufff I would stick with ME, but then again ME is not a NTFS operating system. Windows 9x for the win. Pesonally I just wish that windows would allow usage of the 9x startup screen that can also cause an error in ME. One of the two 95 or 98. However if I want to hang with the "oh nothing special happend in 2001" generation ( who thinks HD is the 411 ), I would go with the 2000, and just to deal with all the crap I would go with XP. If you can somehow clear the XP of it's crap I would deal with that and make sure it is XPSP2. 2000 is nice but it annoys me so much. If you can get your hands on Vista, because that is pretty much XP from what I read so far but I don't know. I only use it because the computer I brought has it installed. That is the problem, you can't play every single DOS related windows game without a 9x, and you can't play the latest games without an near XP type computer. It boils me when I have a game, that could run on 9x but is lacking the program support for it. I feel like saying "Why have you forsaken me". I am just glad I am not the person who buys everything brand new, and thinks the lastest is the greatest mumbo jumbo, because that is why the decison is problematic.
