I've got to think now, when did I start playing around with POVRay?  1990 
or so.  In fact, when the wiki was being set up, I had a chat with Chris 
about the days on CompuServe, and he pulled up the entry for a render 
that I'd created of my old cribbage board.  I had to borrow a scanner to 
do the textures for the playing cards (I wanted to scan in some Russian 
cards I had purchased in Moscow).
