 Really?  Hmmmn... Was there a reason for the change, other than
 'just cuz' we felt like it'?

 Yep.  I know the game.  Don't need the demo any longer, but I guess
 it's handy for stores or whatever.

  Figured as much, but there was no read_me file with the patch.
  I would not have minded being warned it would take forever to
  patch the game.  But then it IS a lot of code to patch, so...

 I'm going to buy SW and rent Raystorm.  And tape it.  And then buy it
 when I have more cash.  Hell, I don't even *own* a Playstation either,
 but what the heck.  :)

 I can relate.  Seems like I spend four or five hours a day working on
 mine, but it's all update stuff and tweaking and whatever.  It's nowhere
 near as complex as yours.
 And you were 100% right about how to learn HTML: sit down and do the
 code.  By hand.  Swipe some pages off the net to see how they work,
 and tinker.  And THEN get a fancy HTML editor and play with that.
 Never seen a fancy editor yet that didn't goof up something to the
 point where you have to go in and fix the code by hand.  Probably a
 lot of people out there who suddenly learn what raw HTML looks like
 when their page falls apart, and they'll have no clue about any of it.
 I do my whole site with DiDa editor and FTPEdit.  The coding is
 almost all by hand.  When it breaks, it's my fault.
