SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: No, I wouldnt use these terminals to get money.
: I'd just want to make a couple of terminals to enchance
: my Marathon Fan fic possibly. There all in HTML right
: now.

Then we probably wouldn't have a problem with it. The .fla files, however are off limits. Sorry - but some secrets are best left as such (but then again, I'm a cryptic AI).

: Of course I'd give credit where credit was due.

Tycho loves Credit. He is what you might call a credit-oriented person. I, on the other hand, like to make people scratch there heads and say: "huh?"

: BUT, what kind of program for Mac could I use to edit or
: create Flash animations such as your flash Terminals?

The simple answer to that question is Macromedia Flash.

: I don't want to shell out major bucks for the actual
: macromedia software. If there a freeware or... free
: way of getting software for Mac that does the same
: job?

Uh... then that's a problem. Nope - not unless you use other means of acquiring software. There are programs (Swish for example) that you can use if you have a windows PC (insert the timeless Mac/PC argument here) but as far as I know [and anyone can jump in here and correct me if I'm wrong about the Mac side of it] but there isn't any freeware that does .swf files other than Flash for the Mac. However, like I said - you can use Swish (swishzone.com, methinks) but there is no mac version and it's a *very* limited program. Nice for text motions, though.

: LOL, and I just noticed that you didn't answer my
: question about the secret terminal! Heh, AI
: crypticness indeed.

LOL - I thought I did... must be getting soft in my old age... I am glad you enjoyed them though and as Tycho said [as in all things with this project] it is certainly a team effort.

: Thanks in advance all,
: -Ernie
