Thanks, David. I think, I sourced that information from the Wikipedia entry 
about POV-Ray. You might have to do some corrections there, as well. I 
think, they stated that POV-Ray was born in 1989.,,

If your Amiga's storage media is maybe still operational even if the entire 
Amiga is not, you might try to build that storage media into some other 
Amiga. Just a thought, but I am sure you might have tried that long time.

So, what about the slogan idea?   :-)
