AA = AntiAliasing = Fixes jaggies

AF = Anisotropic Filtering = Smooths the mipmap transitions for textures

damn...havent heard from you in a year or so... do you still get on aim? we need to catch up bro. ive been good on and off. dropped my college classes yesterday because i just havent done to good this sem. and i didnt want any bad grades on my transcript. i have been working for my dad filing warranty for Southern Refrigerated Transport. I also dropped a few grand on decal/sticker plotting equipment and am trying to get my business going good, I make stickers/banners/decals/signs/etc. its going good right now but its hard work.

me and the gf of 3 yrs ended it last month but she made the comment the other day that she wanted to work it out, who knows...

it would be great to catch you on aim sometime, i post alot more at at than here, do you ever post there anymore? i havent sold anything or bought anyting since early summer, got my heat up to about 130+ though


ps- what is mipmap transitions, i guess just the look of tecxtures?

thx bro<3
