Nicely done ;-)

What actualy amazes me the most of it all is more the speed of google.
How do they get such a quick search-result back?
I still have not figured that out...

Regards, Norman

that is really cool. Well done!

Perhaps you could now do the 'introduction to newlisp" too? :-)

I'm very intrigued at the idea. Having to follow someone else's 'comprehension speed' could have been a problem but it seems not to be - but then, I half know what you're doing. But there's always the pause button.

Should i be hearing anything? if not a commentary, perhaps some background music?

great stuff!

Please, no background music! This way we get to pick our own.

It was more of a "is my setup working OK because I can't hear anything?" type of comment... Or "where's the narrator gone?".

I've tried it accompanied by the sound of Glenn Gould playing the Aria from the Bach Goldberg Variations, and it's quite good...

Hi Cormullion!

No, I decided to keep them silent. The music makes the file too large, and I think it distracts from following the "story." Plus, as you can see, people have different tastes in music.

Actually, I already did! :-) It was one of the first animations I worked on. It's called "The Three Rules of newLISP." Unfortunately, I broke it trying to "improve" it ;-) If I ever get it running again, I'll send it to you.
