Yes, that is sad. However, this is not always their own fault. Life and
circumstances may not have given them the opportunities to develop something
else besides their work. Because that is essential. While I always have been
a dedicated and driven researcher in geology, I was also lucky to have been
able to develop a few other things besides, not related to my main
activities. POV-Ray is one of them.

Well, the first one comes closest. A combination of early retirement
following institutions fusion and reorganizations. I didn't complain. I had
some health problems at the time and as the conditions were very acceptable,
it was the dreamed of opportunity to switch to other occupations, while
still remaining interested (and mildly involved) in geology.
