Default Re: Texture comparison

Thanks, Fyron, for the explanation. Must be IE's allowances. I'll try to remember that in the future.

For "old time sake", I'll mention a pet peeve of mine (well, that's because I'm old and remember these things):

All the time at work (working in IT), I hear people say "forward slash" and "back slash". Before computers came about, there was only the "slash". When computers (and paths) became an everyday word, people felt the need to call a slash a "forward slash". I've always maintained that there is a "slash" and a "back slash". Of course, this reference is not half as bad as this one (that I hear all the time!): a "forward backslash" .
