btw - my dream (impossible now, hmm well maybe Bill G can affort it;) - to
have cluster of i.e 1024 x 100 Pentiums 2 GHz 2 GB ram connected with very
fast ethernet, so each will rander just ~7 pixels per frame. Then it would
be possible to play Quake 3 with real soft shadows, real glass, radiosity,
media :))) maybe even a focal blur - in real time :)
