It sure was a ton of work, but it found a very good home by now and I'm glad I can still see it about once a year.

Haha.. yes, they say it only takes a fraction of a second to perceive a picture... on the other hand, It may be hard to have the "consumers" attention for much more than that... which you definitely have with a written text, as long as it is interesting enough... which I'm not so sure of with mine and therefore deliberately keep it short. So chances are, people read at least half of it ;-)
