1664h 27m 31.0 s

Radiosity, photons, dispersion, focal blur, media.
All the good things.

(I have a desktop-sized render, if you want it,
just ask)

That reminds me of an old differential equations prof I had years ago, 
who still, very recently, was doing dynamical systems explorations on a 
Timex Sinclair in his basement.  He maintained that there was nothing 
worth doing that he couldn't do on his Sinclair.

He'd say, "Yeah, I set it up & check it every few weeks."

Very nice picture, by the way!

Except that's it's not a 500 KHz CPU,
but a 2GHz cpu (which isn't all that
wonderful either)

I usually change my computers every 2-3 years
and have no old computer fetish thing. When they
become "obsolete", I give them away. Frees the
basement, makes someone happy. Win-win.

Best,

    S.

Nice, and so it should be for 1664h.

It gives me a feeling of vertigo, no support for my feet and nothing
else below me.

Well of course -- 2K and membrane keys should be enough for anybody! :-)
