There were many nice details, thanks.

E.g. the depressed look out of the Window into the rain.

Or this demanding gesture, when Nerd Boy asks for the
processor.

And first not feast the great view in the beginning, where
we see the town in the rain.

Thanks for all that.

You could make reference to "cycle stealing" what with the missing
packet and all. 

Cycle stealing was the main frame pre-cursor to preemptive multitasking.
A device channel would "steal" a processor cycle to push data into
memory buffers.

Absolutely; no problems.  These are your characters, after all, and by all
rights it should be *me* asking for *your* permission to p155 about with
them.  :o)

By all means, add it to the site.

BTW - is it just my Outlook Express being crap, or did the picture post
incorrectly ?

I'm seeing some lines that don't match up the way I drew them...

There should be one space before the word "bullet-time" and another on the
line below, just before it says "scene", but OE isn't showing these spaces.

I'd upgrade/replace OE, but I don't have Admin rights on the Citrix
Metaframe server that I'm running OE on.  *sigh*

I will, but I'd like to add your signature. Is it "gp"?

It got posted incorrectly. OE tends to strip single leading spaces.
I'll fix that before I post it on the site though.
