Hello, *what* planet are you on?  You think there's some crowd of people out
there just waiting to be useful to me?  There isn't.  That's what I've just
taken 6 months to determine.

It didn't.  I have my copy still, and there is no discussion of texture
mapping algorithms in it.  It was considered "an advanced subject."

Whatever dude.  I could care less about such chronologies.  So, why are you
here then?  Why are you wasting our time, talking about the finer points of

just installed a modem, and just finished a few slices of pizza.  <BUUUURP!>
