Ahh, remember 3.0, back in the days of Halo and Atmosphere. Back when 
POVRay still had a DOS release. Those were such optimistic times!

It seems like 3.7 has been in beta for years, but I read this paragraph 
and chuckled a bit.

"Don't look for that release until 1998 or later."

LOL, it's been more than 10 years, and POV-Ray 4.0 is no where near even 
existing!

Not slamming the team at all ;) But I found this amusing ...
