This image took about one year to render, first with a 1.8 system running
24/7 for about eight months, then a 3 gHz machine running for the remaining
four, 24/7.

Sorta an experiment (as regards isosurfaces, media, and media quality
settings) that failed. I thought it would look nicer. 

Clearly, longer (or VERY long) trace times don't neccessarily lead to better
images...

Just thought I'd share the disappointment!
