No doubt about that! But noone ever dared to really do so.

I started that way, but I wanted the bit of transparency I know from my soap at
home. I really isn't that easy. It's quite shiny at the side where the light
comes from and grows darker to the other. I thought media. The balance between
media effects and readability of the text was quite tricky.
And then of course I do have no fast machine. I just work at one ;-). Render
time is 13 minutes with antialiasing and 15 samples for the media.

Whoops, and that happens to me. I used to be the one stating that. But I WAS
sitting at a 8bit XTerminal and have now a brilliant truecolor visual SUN in
front of me.
Well, the page is not intended to be surfed, really. It will be pure Netscape4
page and so on. But I will rethink the colors.

Thanks for input.
