Coincidentally In the "POV-Ray is getting some bad press over some 
Intel-compiler shenanigans." thread in P.general. The journalist swapped 
the colours for patched and original on the two graphs. Which in my 
opinion is misleading. But then I take everything that the media says 
and writes with a pinch of salt. One of the many jobs I've had was a 
techy one on a UK newspaper. Thick as mince most of these journos
