It was Computer Arts that introduced me to povray. There was a user gallery piece
where someone had submitted some rather uninspiring art--something like a metallic
bridge with all the wrong colors. But it mentioned this freeware raytracer and gave
the link to povray.org.  This was perhaps 3 years ago.

Of course, they ARE in bed with the big buck software companies.  You won't find
many indications of what freeware can do to compete with their advertisers' stuff.
I stopped buying them when the "full software, POW! distribution of Organica"
turned out to be a save-disabled demo.  Lyingbrits...
