High!

Oh glorious CGS pioneer days... I remember, back in summer of 1991, 
staring totally stunned at at endlessly looped animation running on an 
80386 on display in a computer store showcase (by the way, in the 
medieval Old City of Augsburg, Germany), which showed (what else?) a 
RSOCP orbited by several smaller RSOCPs!

I myself back then had an Atari 1040 STFM to type my papers for college, 
1 meg of RAM, which came with  a monochrome 11" monitor... but to change 
from 640 x 400 monochrome to 320 x 200 color mode, I hade to plug it to 
a color TV set... in the following year, I bought myself a second-hand 
Amiga 500, hoping to catch a very first glimpse of 3D graphics (as I 
started to toy with the idea of "Khyberspace", a virtual Afghanistan), 
but it wasn't until 1995 that I discovered PoV-Ray!

See you on www.khyberspace.de!
