All,
Could someone who is more of an artist (than I) help me out with the
proportions and angles of this .SIG?

a) b) c)
It _should_ be the 3 types of computer media.
a) 5 .25" floppy
b) 3.5" floppy
c) CD ROM.
The disks should also appear as if they are in motion with trailing "dust
clouds" or something to the effect. I've tried a couple of different
approaches and they look OK in 43-line mode, but look awful in 25-line mode.
Many Thanks!
Steve

I'll tell you, I'd like to see sombody do all that.

It's a bit big for a sig... but then I'm a bit of a minimalist myself!
