Oy...

The full story that caused this animation to be created is a long and convoluted one and, to be honest, rather embarrassing. At the time this whole sordid mess unfolded, I got a hell of a lot more mileage out of it than I really deserved. Invective on the Net was hurled, feelings were hurt and, as they say in Washington, "Mistakes were made." Personally, I'm perfectly happy to just let the issue die, obscured in antiquity.

Still, I ended up with a rather nice animation out of the whole deal, not to mention a pretty cool unicycle object. Justly or otherwise, this became one of the most (in)famous animations ever made for the Amiga, and even today it still holds up relatively well, if I do say so myself.

If you really want to know the whole wretched story, find me at a show or a conference some time, buy me a drink and I'll tell you...
