POV has a problem with the shading of concave surfaces. I have pointed 
it out in connection with another thread, see
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/27303/?mtop=193345&moff=10
but nobody else seemed to care.

C1? Never heard of that... but even when I model the soldering in simple CSG
(torus cut from cylinder), I still get that
strange finish shift, the soldering is much shinier than the pin rod!

The funny shading you were takling about in that thread might possibly be 
correct. It just looks kinda strange...

Doesn't look that way to me, just looks like they're reflecting 
different things. There seems to be a bit of a highlight causing the 
solder to be a bit lighter, but since the normal of the pin is 
different, it doesn't catch the highlight, but in-stead, just above the 
solder it reflects the gold pad on the chip, then a little higher up you 
get the black chip packaging, then higher up still you get a reflection 
of some lighter colored texture not directly visible, a background or 
floor I'm guessing.

Nice modelling of a processor for that era. Seemed to be a popular subject of
the time.

I kinda miss the 'smallness' of the local BBS community. The web is become way
to commercial for my tastes.
