Thanks for the comments.

Yes, an amorphous phase of silicon does exist but I don't have the geometric
info to do that one yet.

How would you have textured it?  I'm always looking for new ideas...

After further reflection I can see how silicone could be appropriate (it
does kinda look like Pamela Lee ...)

Actually, I really like the pic.  I viewed it (and your request for
comments) just after reading the virus thread.  "Beats the Hell out of a
post with a virus attached" was the first thing that popped into my mind,
and for some reason I thought it was really funny.  I was almost rolling on
the floor (I guess you had to be there).
