Still better than my antediluvian rattletrap - an AMD K6-II at 400 Mhz 
with 256 megs of RAM running Windoze 98! I still hope of being able to 
afford at least an Athlon Thunderbird somewhen this year...

Same with me... I'm pretty occupied with updating Afghanistan webpages 
for a German non-profit organization, as well as with my own Afghanistan 
project on the web, a friend wants to contribute his etymological 
studies on Muslim names...

So at the moment, there is rarely time to proceed with Khyberspace... 
just converting a section of a Soviet-made 1:100,000 map of the Kabul 
area manually (!) to a 16bit heightfield bitmap, may take about 1,000 
hours of work in the end!

But keep up your work on the Taj Mahal! There is almost no Islamic 
architecture in the PoV-Ray world... the only example I can remember is 
Sander`s Mezquita of Cordoba, long ago in 2000... and my crude attempts 
to model some tileworks form Mazar-e Sharif`s Hazrat Ali Mosque in 2001!

See you in Khyberspace!
