Maybe I should, but at the moment my philosophy is that I 
should put my effort in learning about features in POV-Ray 
that I'm "guaranteed" to also find in the next generations 
of "standard" POV-Ray.

The disadvantages from this is that I cannot do all the 
fancy stuff done by the new patches I see in this news group.

But I think that since I'm relatively new to POV-Ray, there 
is plenty enough fancy stuff left for me to explore in v3.1.

My hope is that the most useful features you others 
"at the bleeding edge" find in the new patches will 
end up in "standard" POV.

Yes, you're right. I'll do that if I find some spare time.

Heh Heh. It's not far from that. 

At the moment I have a 100 MHz Pentium PC at home.
