Too bad that I lost my first Moray-powered POV-Ray 2.2 scenes long 
ago... would be very intriguing to compare rendering times on my current 
AMD FX-6200 six-core machine with those on the Cyrix 80486 40DX back in 
1996!

But... 64 GB? Wow... and I thought, at 24 GB, I was "over-motorized"! If 
I only could afford my own scaled-down liquid salt moderated thorium 
fission reactor on the balcony, I also would go for a such powerful machine!

See you in Khyberspace!
