    With lots of AA and 320x240 IRTC animation standard on render that should be
20-25Meg abnd 2-3Gigs of scene files. You are running Linux, right? If not how
do you keep the machine running that long?

    It is on the current 25 most recent links page of povray.org.  But
seriously, go price a D: drive these days. Or a CDRW drive even. I just saw 26G
for $169 as a hard drive. ROM burners are as cheap and $1.50 a blank the most
you can pay for them at 640M each.

    Storage upgrading is now on the order of a good night on the town or five
weeks allowance or simply access to a buddy with the hardware to do it for you.
