The Internet never ceases to amaze me too.

Thanks for telling me. It's supposed to be a 128kbit cable connection but I 
have suspected for a while that it's on a go slow. Thanks for confirming my 
suspicions. Hopfully the ISP are looking into it.

Done. There is now a text box which says:-

This project merely illustrates a very minor bug in the playfield.

It seems that the y origin for the graph paper is the top of the playfield, 
whereas the y origin for the graph is at the bottom. Thus, unless the size of 
the y dimension of the playfield is an exact multiple of the graphpaper 
squares the plotting is incorrect. This is illustrated by the graph to the 
left, the plot of which should pass precisely through the corners of the 
squares of the graph paper.

Once again, really a very minor bug.

Thanks for that. I'll take the TTGlyph out of it. Pity, it's pretty.
