Thanks  Ryan, when I first heard about POV-Ray, it was on a link
somewhere deep inside the web, after searching through 'computer graphic's'.
This link pointed to the 'news.povray.org' forums, so at that point I had
not seen very many images.
   However, I am fully au-fait with what can be achieved now, (IRTC). I just
think that it is a fantastic tool, and I want to be able to achieve some of
the standards that I have seen so far, I'll try anyway.
     All the best,       ~Steve~

 PS, and yes, from what I have read, everyone 'wants' to help everyone else.
I'm glad that I have joined a great 'phenomena'.
 And I hope that one day I can help someone that is new.
