February (15, to be precise) 1995 was the time when I entered the 
Internet for the very first time! And two months later I firstly read 
about POV-Ray (not online, but in the German computer magazine Chip, for 
those around understanding German: 
https://find.bibliothek.tu-ilmenau.de/Record/83160851X)...

...and, yes, there still exists a POV-Ray image from these early days, 
which has survived as a color hardcopy and then was scanned afterwards! 
It is also a very early precursor of Khyberspace as it shows the 
Spinghar mountains along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border (to the right, 
Tora Bora is located)... manually pixeled from a scanned topographic map 
in the Historical and Political Gazetteer of Afghanistan, edited by 
Ludwig Adamec.

See you in Khyberspace!
