Not to sound rude, but I thought the whole reason behind Tore's initiative
to reduce filesize was because these *large* model files were choking
people's compuers?
Like real realestate, there is a supply and demand to building "Datsvilles".
When calculating supply, one must figure in processor speed, as well as
other factors. Might as well stop now to make a point and as a principle
the development of Datsville. Like in real life, in order to create new
supply in realestate, one must become the colonist and settle new lands.
Who knows? Maybe there'll appear a Lugsville , from the "makers of
Datsville", to settle your demand?
