Getting around to commenting on this scene a little late . . .

This is a pretty cool scene.
I really like the Selectric ball, and the punch cards.

I remember playing with shoeboxes full of punch cards at my grandparents' house
growing up.
They still sell the tractor-feed paper:  apparently lots of businesses still use
it.

The font on the paper and punch cards is nice - and I like the traditional
slipping into the scene of "Persistence of Vision" on the cards.  :)

I put a bunch of such Easter Eggs into my Secret Passage scene.

It's good to see that you're still playing with POV-Ray all these many years
later.
