Hmm, well I love the idea of having a mobile POV-Ray to work with where ever I
may go, problem there is that I have yet to find an affordable (for me) notebook
computer with the power to do so.  And that in turn always starts me thinking of
GPS mapping on the road or off.  Guess I just don't think of the internet as
being something I want around 24/7  :-)  POV-Ray yes, 'net no.
