Interesting... so you are an oceanographer by profession?

I think that is a usable machine for our purpose...

Yes, they are awesome... and, according to his homepage, he is studying 
engineering, so he's a good deal more into math than we both... but I 
hope we can catch up sooner or later!

Nevertheless, in the coming weeks I will start a new sub-section in my 
homepage where I lay out a basic concept for PoVEarth, illustrated with 
several preliminary renderings... and then we'll have to wait and see!

See you in Khyberspace!
