[vet-mm] vet-mm Digest, Vol 92, Issue 4

Sun Nov 11 12:49:06 EST 2012

I spoke to half a dozen of my students. Most were happy with the practical,
none had heard of Animatics (including me). They put the hexadecimal number
into Dreamweaver to see what colour it was. Overall they were happy, which
I guess is the most important thing.

They also had to go through a computer shutdown and lost a little of their
work, were given an extra 15 minutes at the end to compensate.
