POV 1 used to run on an XT. At least I think it did because I first tried POV
when all I had was an XT. That probably explains why I never did much with it
the next couple of years, because it took ages to render a simple 320x200-image.
I tried one, waited a couple of hours, but when it wasn't even halfway finished
I decided this was not for me. At the moment I'm so definitely hooked that I
bought an extra computer and an additional 128Mb of RAM for rendering.
