Thanks for the feedback, guys!!!
I fixed the above code.
Turns out all this time I forgot the fundamental law of copying code
into a web page -- turn all those <'s into <'s.
Newbie mistake. I must smack myself now. :-)

Thanks! I didn't use radiosity (didn't seem like it would add anything
to the scene because the rods are so reflective) and it rendered really
quickly. In fact, I just ran it again to find out:
01m 10s
Width=700 Height=500 AntiAlias=True Output_File_Type=N Preview_Start_size=32

Thanks Dan. I thought it might have been a lot longer than that, but
to say the least for a scene like that, that's fast.
Was it the 1.54GHz or the 512Mb RAM that aided this, do you think?
Or both? I feel your image would have taken considerably more time on
my m/c. (I have 600MHz and 384Mb RAM, win98SE, Duron mb.).

Probably the memory :-) I have souped-up memory in this thing because it
used to be a gaming box.

Using win98, any flavour, you can't benefit from more RAM, and may
actualy get crashes if you go 512Mb or more. You get benefits up
to128Mb, then you hit a plateau up to 256. After that, you LOOSE
performances as you add more memory. Crapy memory management.
Those figures where about half lower on win95.

I'm not surprised -- Windows 95/98 are, like, so nineties. I highly
suggest for anyone using Windows 9X or ME to invest in XP or 2000 which
have been out for more than enough years to justify no longer even
/thinking/ about Windows 9X.

But save your copy of Win98. There are *some* things that just won't run
under an NT-based system. If you have old games (like, pre-2001 or so),
hardware based off the serial or parallel ports, etc., make sure it
works with XP before you ditch 98.
