I'm not doing anims very often, so these values are mainly 'accidental'

*Sell* them?!? Why would he do that? :-)
That's an impressive collection...I've got an Apple IIe, Mac Plus, 
Macintosh Performa 475, a G3 desktop and a G3 tower.

Lets hope you don't have to wait much longer...

Well, the text version should be pretty easy to port to OS X, just 
porting from a Unix-like system to a BSD Unix system...(this from 
someone who can't get POV to build...)

Well, I'm very pleased with linux! More than with Windows in any way and more
than with macintosh...

I mean... I do lots of hard stuff for the computer and the last time it crashed
was when I killed an OpenGL program that was "unprotecting memory" for
acceleration...  And I think the computer was not crashed, but only the video
card, which is much like a general crash...

I love linux, and the only reason why I'm going to MacOS X is that I'll be able
to use my current prefered application for editing povray, sending mail and
news, etc s'called Emacs!

No, not really, I'll be using some linux commands such as system() that
shouldn't work on MacOS <X...  but the final version should be almost perfectly
OpenPlatform! =D

I'm participating in the OS X public beta, and I have to say that it's
only about 80% ready for the public.  On the other hand, at its current
state, if you can tolerate the rough edges, it does indeed rock.

ObPOV:
When running POV-Ray in the classic layer under OS X public beta, I've
found that it's wisest not to have any other classic aps running at the
same time -- often, odd interactions in the shared memory space of the
classic layer will cause not just the classic layer, but the entire OS
to hang when you try a complex render.
