Sick of having the same old background picture, day
after day?  Point your browser at this page:

It's a random galaxy generated by Chris Colefax's
famous include file, and is regenerated daily.

Sounds like a nifty little service.

May I make a suggestion ?

Upload a pov file that contains the paramaters for each update. This way
if someone sees a particular image that would look good in one of their
scenes they would be able to recreate it.
