I started to render one a while back, it was someone else's code and they 
were fed up of it, so I said I'd render it.  Three weeks (21 days) into the 
render the guy found out that the code I was rendering wouldn't work, and 
he'd found a better way of doing it :-)

Diamonds are definitely *not* forever.

All you need to do is heat one up in a bunsen burner flame until it 
starts glowing, then drop it into liquid Oxygen... :)

It skitters around, and gets smaller and smaller.  Mind you it's a 
remarkably expensive way to generate CO2 <grin>

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
