CSG and (especially) lathe glass seems to have serious speed issues.
Try a triangle mesh for your mug.  Check out the web page of the
genius Jaime Vives Piqueres, http://www.ctav.es/jaime.  Look up the
image Barrabar.jpg in the personal gallery.  The image had been given
up as infeasible for time reasons until the glass was redone with mesh
techniques.  Jaime has a handy include file for simplifying the job
and some tutorial material.  In passing, note with awe the height
field work in some of the other images, e.g. Puerto.jpg.

Gee !

I like this picture, especially the 'bumps' on the plastic of the
screen.
One comment the keys are really too high.

Genius? I'd be interested in seeing that, except a link could not be
established. :(

Maybe later.

Oops, sent too fast.

I was under the impression that photons would not interact with mesh objects
properly. I'll revisit Nathan's site just to be sure.

Thank you! Two color gifs really do come in handy at times! :)

Agreed. I'm going to make a few changes there, as well as prepare the
keyboard for animation. I'm not yet sure why. :)

I usually create my own brand names in renderings. I've never had anyone
complain, but why give them a reason? :)

Good modelling and texturing. I have a keyboard model I started but
never got any font onto the keys. This looks nifty and I also get to see
what mine might look like if I ever were to finish, so 2 thanks.

Got it, thanks. ;-] I kept getting re-directed to www.com main page. I
added a "/" to "Jaime" and zap! there I was - silly internet.
