YKYBRTLW...

...you don't need any software to render the 'sphere and
  checkered plane', you can do all the math in your head.
...faster than your computer.
...you construct an animation explaining what raytracing
  is using photons and media to illustrate the rays.
...while watching the Matrix, you realize that when YOU
  look at objects around you, you see them as code...;)
...you write a port of POV for the X-box, and buy one as
  a cheap rendering machine.  (or you convince someone
  else to write the port for you...*wink*)
...you make a FPS that uses POV as its render engine.
...and have the patience to play it.

Sorry ;)
Seriously, though, if someone writes a port of POV for
the X-box, I'll buy one so I can actually use THIS
machine, since the X-box is inexpensive for a computer
of its calibre...
