Hi Craig,
That's okay....as long as you don't steal my lightning, then, you're
fine. ;)
BTW, I just wanted to let you know that the method that I used to put
the "Bayer" text on the puill *is not* in the upcoming tutorial. I
used a different method due to the curved surface. If you would like
to know how I did that, then please contact me directly and I can send
you the file.
Cheers.
