Hehe, my first encounter with Pov-Ray was when it was known as PVRay, it 
was a beta version, 0.9b. It prompted me to write a program that would 
basically stripe R G and B on the screen, so I could see the images in 
their full color. I eventually found a paint program that would convert 
TGA to GIF, then eventually begged my dad for an ET4000-based card with 
24 bit color.  I remember waiting hours on my 386-SX for sunset.pov to 
complete, Suffice to say, SKYVASE took a loooong time to trace.
