Computer power helps, but I don't think it's the trigger for better 
images. The new options in MegaPov play a bigger role. The exploration 
leads to unexpected forms/shapes that lead to images "not seen before".

Even more important is the healthy "competition" that every now and then 
emerges. "Hey I can do that too/different/better/..." Look at the twisted 
tori and grass threads. Pushing ech other, builing on each others code and  
thus learning and improving.
