Mr Langley

I don't think you understand what struck a raw nerve with me so I'll
try and explain it as simply as I can.

I've downloaded AR freebies from various URLs on the web that several
persons have been generous enough to put up for grabs. Some I have found worthwhile hanging onto while others, let's just say I haven't found
worthwhile. I do thank all of them though for their generosity. They
care enough to share with their fellow reconstructionists and I applaude
that.

I didn't post anything about these "freebie" files on TARO because
frankly no one, and appropriately so, cares a rat's ass about what
I like and don't like. For you sir to comment on files you, as an
Autocad user, can't even look at; is what is assinine. If you wanted
to expound on the pros and cons of raster images (you spelled
it " rater " by the way - Al Gore's Spelling School I presume)
you should have made up your own thread.

I don't normally get in pi..ing contests with people .. it's not my
style so I'll close with just one final comment. I've blown the
bitmappped images up to 100 times their size and you're right they do
tend to take on a tattered look, but then again I don't expect to take
a 1 to 3 scaled accident scene drawing into court ... the court rooms
up here are just not that big and I couldn't afford the tractor trailer
I'd need to bring it there anyway.

You can fire a parting shot if you wish ... pardon me if I don't respond.
