Hello, everybody! Would you like a free book about the history of computer
graphics, plus explanations? Then check out

http://www.intergraph.com/ics/book/default.asp

and order yours today! You only pay for shipping and handling. The more you
get, the cheaper that is. Great, huh?

PS: I just happened to find this, and thought you guys might like it, I'm
not being payed to place this 'advertisement' here. Enjoy!

  If you have to pay something, it isn't free, is it?

Not to mention the expense of having to move to America to take advantage
of the offer...

  True, Peter, but there might be some disagreement from the ladies at
Nevada's Mustang Ranch. They might say, "You get what you pay for, honey".
 :)

p.s. - No, I have never experienced their charms.

Obviously the aforementioned ladies have never seen POV-Ray or they
would have long ago changed their principles.

>p.s. - No, I have never experienced their charms.

Me neither. I'll put it in my to-do list, though. :)
