As I mentioned, the first computer I used POV on was an Amiga 500 with (at the
time I was using POV on it) a 68010 running at a little over 7 MHz and 4.5 MB
of RAM (I used DBW-Render on the same machine with a 68000 and 512K of RAM,
though.)  It didn't have a hard drive until later in its life, but that didn't
stop me from making some pretty cool images for the time.  Unfortunately, I 
no longer have a running Amiga to get any of them off of the disks they're
on.  I suppose I might be able to mount the HD (a Micropolis 1325 - 72 whole
megabytes!) on a newer machine if I could find a SCSI adapter, though.
