Hi Jon,

Thanks for the crit. I guess I should have put this feature in earlier. I
tried running it on my freind's PC and it was terrible. Anyway the web-site
now brandishes the updated version with the ability to turn off the 3d
background and the blending, F1 and F2 respectively. At the mo, the
background just goes black, I guess I don't even really need a texture, I
could just render to texture and use that as the bg image... hmmm.

Hope it runs alright now,

Andy M.
