I'm impressed, but the focal blur is so subtle that I hadn't actually 
noticed that it had been used...

And growing hair off blobs is a new one on me, but then again, I'm no 
programmer, so I don't know hoe tricky it is or isn't to do.

Hmmm...  I've just had a rather daft idea, involving a system running two 
monitors, and the scene rendered at something like 1600x600, split in two 
and put one half on one monitor, and the other half on the other monitor.  
Only one slight flaw in this cunning plan - I only have one monitor :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
