True. BTW, will there be any additions to the isosurface tutorial soon? 
:-)

It doesn't matter how nice you are or what kind of person you are...he 
simply repeats from the same list of adjectives("goldfish" seems to be 
his favorite right now). Giving actual disproof of his assertions is 
also useless.

Well, he has said multiple times that he does not want to become part of 
the community here, so I doubt he will "sweeten", as you put it. The 
best I hope for is that he gets bored, leaves, and then forgets about 
news.povray.org.
Fortunately, he has kept his recent heap of flame messages and rants to 
povray.off-topic...by the fact he hasn't replied here, I doubt he reads 
any other groups. And if this part of the conversation goes on, it 
should also be forwarded to .off-topic.

Then I might as well warn you ahead of time: don't use "size" or 
"fade_power". :-)
The "size" feature is buggy, but you can adjust the size by adjusting 
the brightness of the color. And the "fade_power" feature doesn't seem 
to play well with reflective or transparent surfaces, so I might remove 
it.
Glows are included in MegaPOV 0.6a, which is the latest version. There 
is a possibility of a bug fix version being released soon, but 0.6a 
should do fine. There are some demo pictures here:

Oh, and there is a bunch of updated info about 3.5/4.0 in 
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions, look for the message by 
Chris Cason titled "POV-Team Status Report - September 1, 2000".

I meant once you get your system unpacked and running... :-)
Having the computer and not being able to use it must be extremely 
frusterating...
