Apollo, here's a really basic particle animation. Nothing spectacular but might be enough to get you started. If it's something you want to know, reply and i'll let you know how it's done. Sorry if you're on 56k, it's about 350k and it's DivX 5.02.

Hi Apollo, here's the basics i used. If you need it in a step by step tutorial format, let me know.

Create an Emitter and use directional. In the channel box i used

Direction X
Rate 3000
Spread 0.2
Rate 10

Open particle1 in the attrib editor

I used the following:
Lifespan Random Range
Lifespan 0.5
Lifespan Random 0.2
Render Type Multistreak.

Select Current Render Type
Color Accum ON
Line Width 3

I also added a per particle attribute for both color and opacity. Both use ramps. You can see how that was done on this

Tutorial

If you have any other questions, let me know.
