I was looking through some old pictures that I had backed up, and I found
a small version of this one.  I wanted to use it as my background, but I
raytraced this back when my desktop resolution was 640x480, and I needed a
larger copy.  After searching for a while, I found the script for it, and
traced this (almost 3 hours on my PIII 700).
  This is an unaltered copy of the scene I wrote in the summer of 1999, so I
can see a lot of areas that need improving, but I thought I would post the
original, since it was one of the first major scenes I made.  It was a while
ago, but I think I got the inspiration from a pamphlet for some high-end
modelling software.
  All comments are welcome.

Sweet! Add specular to every surface (including the table) and it'll really
make it look real! :-)
