I just want to say Thank You for writing DKBTrace, and Thank You to the entire
Pov team for keeping the dream alive.

With no jest, I would not be where I am in life right now without Pov-Ray; it
introduced me to programming and got me hooked, now about 22yrs later I have
worked for Fortune 100 and 500 companies and currently I am VP of Risk Tech and
Principal Software Engineer/Architect with a multinational bank.

I likely would have never developed an interest in any of this without the
influence of Pov-Ray and this community.

My sincere thanks for introducing me to the world of software and graphics.
