   Ah, yes... that's the best POV-Ray sand to date! In fact, I did remember
about it at first, when I was using MegaPOV, but it was extremely slow to
render with 100,000 spheres. And later I forgot to try it again with the
beta... well, that will be the first job for the AMD Phenom II X4 that I
just purchased. :)
