I could do this, but I think my prefs might just make it harder for 
someone else, because then they would need to figure out how I have it 
set up..I geuss I could send text with it to explain them, but I really 
don't know if this will help others, plus the fact that my prefs for 3.0 
are not really set up to what I would call perfect for all situations yet.

The whole concept I was trying to emply is that you can set the software 
up the way YOU like it, and when you do it yourself it is much easier to 
remember what everything does, this is the whole point to optimising your 
speed, you don't have to really think about or need to go look in the 
menus for the tools you use most, because you have set them to either a 
gadget or funtion key..I even have a seperate configs directory with 
different config files some do some things better than others and some 
can even help speed up my rendering times for testing or laying down 
shadows and leaving raytracing to a minimum. I usually stick to my 
default config but have the others there so when I need them I don't have 
to go and remake them..these now have to be remade for 3.0 so I only have 
the one at the moment and I don't feel the one I have at the moment is 
anything I would want to upload as it has not been optimised, this can 
sometimes take several animation projects to get just right and I have 
not had time to do many animations yet...but when I get it sett to what I 
think is good and if you would still like it I will send it. I can 
try and make one up that I think would be of use to every one, though 
I dought that those who have there own will take a second look at 
it, well they might if they like the way I have something setup..though I do 
think its best if you set one up yourself, then you will learn to make 
your own and be able to make changes or different configs.
