I'm looking for a program caled Gerbils. it was a gerbil roller coaster program to show off QT's VR capabilities (written by Apple). i've looked for it on Apple's site and many search engines without any luck. has anyone heard of it or have a copy?

I believe it was in fact a QuickDraw3D showcase. If I remember correctly it was made by Pangea. I might still have it on my 7600 installation CD, I'll check it out and report back.

I've got it on my hard drive right now. Cool little program, I like to build custom tracks to see how fast I can get them to go.
So, should I mail it?

It's also included as an OpenGL screen saver module in Setting Sun, where you can also customize it's settings.
