Hi Joe, do you prefer email or voice chat?  I am much less apt to call you,
but it's probably good to have an initial meeting.

I'm going to look around the X3d Resource Examples, and I know you've got a
set of examples too.  I'll look around for what I have of yours. I can't
find it right away, but I'll look under People next.  I found your examples
in my Downloads folder. Yay!  You are now in ~/People/Joe

Okay, assuming you know what you sent me, what needs to be changed about
the various models you sent me?

Also, note that I am a VRML newb.

Do you use BS Contact?  I think I have that!

Is there an HAnim tutorial written yet?  Should I begin writing one?

John
