I went to the seaside this summer with an experiment in my head. I went
there with a group of computer illiterates (i.e. normal ordinary sane
people), I had my guitar and I wanted to see how long could I stand without
my computer. Well, I had to take this for ten horrible sunny days and when I
came back I had filled about fifty pages of POV code in a notebook, I had
grown two more centimeters of beard, and my hands were trembling <G>. The
guys were bored to death with Bill Gates jokes and "you know you've been
raytracing too long if..." stuff and couldn't dig why this nutter had
collected about 500 seashells just to try to write a generalized .inc (I
gave up on that), whatever that is. They all agreed he needed a nice white
room in a quiet place with a lot of trees and nice calm doctors all around
the place. I guess this says it all...
