Let me know when you have a model that animates a fractal zoom.  Or at 
least one that performs colour cycling ala FractInt when you press a button.

At work we used to occasionally have 'Horrible Tie and Ugly Sock Day' - 
with prizes for the worst in each category.  While fractals can be 
beautiful I think any one of these would have won the tie category 
easily. :)

I would, but 'bout 8 months ago we were not just allowed to work without
a tie, but actually forbidden to wear one at work.

Hmm, when will Zazzle start printing on those shirts tie can be used
with. I could easily fit a fractal (and a penguin, and... and... other
nice pics) on some shirts to wear at work.

No, and I don't pick my own ties any more.
But I AM man enough to wear the ties she chooses for me.  ;-)

Printing on shirts... I was thinking the exact same thing last night! ;-)

The buttons could be a problem.

OTOH, it would be nice to print on more of the area of a T-shrit. (E.g., 
on the sleeves.) Oh well...

luckily me too, until now. I though the fact that he did (and does) 
write most of the contributions and starts most threads in p.o-t played 
a major role.
