Very creative.  The placement of the tiles into the "screen" was done quite
well.  It might have been nice to see more of the inner workings of the
computer, but as you described, there is a limit :)

I really couldn't tell what was going on.

You tried to stretch you concept farther than "watch my clever machine,"
so I gave you a higher concept rating. (vansickl@erols.com)

Haha! Great concept! The gears move nicely, the textures are good.
What could be improved: the little "letter-squares" all seem to have the same
texture; the bug maybe looks a bit stiff when it comes down; and the smoke 
looks a little "flat" - I guess it should be less transparent in the centre.
Anyway, this is my favourite (I think)!

Absolutely brilliant.  From the snide title to the clever bit of making the copyright notice an integral part of the story.  The modelling and animation of the works was very good.  I really like the overshoot of the gears.  The story was very clever and well presented.  The building block/abacus screen was brilliant.  The relatively monochrome look worked well.  The signs were an interesting touch.  The textures needed just a bit more realism, particularly the bug, and the lighting was somewhat too dim, with not quite enough contrast.  The wood needed highlights.  The smoke was a clever detail.  This is an outstanding animation.

Wonderfully cute idea.  If whole story were but a pun, I'd have hated it. But it comes as a surprise at the end and there are other imaginative elements to content. Well done!  Also looks like we are in a real place.
