...but I didn't look for the information until today. Check out the
latest development from Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. Raytracing is
going to get really great (in about 5-10 years).

Exactly. =) We are really at a turning-point right now. Things are getting
better and better on an almost monthly schedule. The new versions of
programs and plugins are making graphics better than ever. And POVers like
SamuelT. are discovering hidden power in old allies. We need better
equipment... these chips will do that...

Not trying to put a damper on this and please don't flame me, but does
anyone else get the feeling that soon we're going to have too much power and
we as humans just won't be able to handle it?

As allways somebody comes up with an incredible algorithm that needs so
much power that put so much load on your machine that will start
cursing! :-)

I don't see that happening anytime soon, but replace the word power with
unsolicited email and things are different...

Probably would have treated us as gods, which we aren't.
I know, here's an idea, let's make better computers so that we can use them
to destroy ourselves :) After all, isn't that what progress is about?
OK, enough of my sarcasm, I'm leading this OT. Sorry.
