Here's a challenge for you: remake one of the default Windows XP backgrounds
with POVRay. Post your attempt in a reply to this thread.

Look in your c:\Windows directory if you have WinXP. If not, you'll have to
get copies frome someone who has. I'd post them, except I'm only able to
use the web interface most of the time, and I rarely get the opportunity to
use some newsgroup software.

    Heh... No, I'm sorry Tek, my fault, I meant by "I don't think I
can get anywhere near those...", that I couldn't match any of those
wallpapers using Pov. Hence the <sniff> sad smiley.  :(

  (sad smiley?!?!)  ;)
