I have a collection of images made over the years by the POV community.
Unfortunately, I did not save the dates, only the maker's names, so I
cannot tell you /when/ mandelbulb explorations took place here. Maybe
Yadgar knows. He is a more complete collector than I am :-) However, my
feeling is that the mandelbulbs were not generated by POV-Ray.
