So what is this?? Life = the imaginary random version of the answer to
life the universe and everything? So life is an imaginary unreachable
goal?

Yup... I still haven't found a place to download it. And POV hasn't done
it either.
So I just figured, taht with a true random generator(not a pseudo random
generator, as in POV), with the answer to it all as a seed, and then
returning an unexisting number, it would be prett ylikely to be life,
wouldn't it ?
I just have to render it... (haven't got any good results yet)

#declare life = rand(seed(42))*sqrt(-1);

Greg from Poughkeepsie, NY, USA.
I discovered POV through the UK mag Computer Arts. My job involves failure analysis
and
materials engineering, both of which make use of my genetically enhanced 3-D reasoning
skills. I was doing raytracing on my notepads before I had a computer!

My name is Jeremy Smith. I'm not a snob or any such thing.... and i am hopelessly
addicted to Moray and Povray! (Although my lover thinks it is a waste of time *GASP*)
I
live in Gainesville Georgia, 40 miles North of Atlanta ('96 summer Olympics) I'm 21
yo,
interest include Povray (Obviously!), Music, Sci-fi/ Fantasy books, and RPGs.... as
far
as i can tell I'm the only one in the South eastern US on the NG... but then i
haven't
read through all this thread.. :}

Well Ken, I'm guessing irvine ior Coasta Mesa but could be wrong. I used to live in
Murrieta and commute to Santa Monica (95 miles each way) got old REAL quick. Moved to
San
Jose, the real center of the universe, at least according to some:) Now commute 5
Miles.
And yes Ken I am a "wacky, propeller headed, poindexter, pocket pen pouch carrying,
programmer type! But I think I can get along with your unprogrammed personality. I
too
use no stinking modeling programs.
I love POV and wish I could get by with less than my normal 4 hours of sleep. Just
don't
have as much time to play with POV. Other hobbies are Shooting, Archery, computer
games
(DELTA FORCE), pop music and photography. So Ken quit knocking programmers or we'll
stop
writing code and you will have to raytrace with pen and paper.....
did you catch the pov typo? :) decided to leave it in after reading it and laughing.

Damn, Ken I was off by a few miles. Tustin, is the El Toro air base still there? I
thought it
was closing down a few years ago. Saw the Blue Angles there in '93.

Westland is West of Garden City, South of Livonia (and I96), East of
Plymouth (and I-275). Southfield is way North and East of Livonia.

Can't say, but maybe he got flooded out ?
[He lives in Gympie, Australia, which just experienced its worst

Well, with a name like that (Gympie) they probably had real trouble since no
one could run out of the way of the water ... :)
