Woot Woot. Go EPIC!!!

Thanks Epic. Now - if I can con vogel into making the Unreal 2 graphic intro into a screen saver, that would be cool

FYI (for those that didn't know) Pixomatic is Michael Abrash's (among others, obviously) creation.

You know, that l33t optimizer that's about as responsible for Quake as Carmack.

Yeah, Michael Abrash is really a legend. He went a different way than Carmack ( he actually works at Microsoft now, and was affiliated with the XBox project ) , though.
Also, I beliebe Carmack might have had more to do with Quake than Abrash. Abrash actually wasn't there in the early stages of the project, and his main job was optimizing and stuff - although he sure owns at that!

Amusingly, Carmack actually learnt his initial VGA stuff in Abrash articles, hehe
