So you didn't regret it this time?  :)

[I crosspost this to news:alt.ascii-art.animation so that the people
there can read about the successful (?) attempt to view them in Opera,
especially llizard, the owner of that page and the maker of those
animations]

Excuse my intrusion into a newsgroup I have no business being in.
 
How thrilling to hear that the Javascript animations work in Opera
(something I have never even heard of! -no surprise; I'm frighteningly
ignorant --see? I told you I had no business here). I hope that the
piano player is working now. (I had inadvertantly removed one of the
lines in one frame when I was fixing something else)

I have also (I hope) removed the irritating Geocities popups by which
you may have been tormented.



NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
