And you call yourself a mac user? :-)

I've got a PowerMac G3 with 192 Mb RAM here, running system 9.2.1, but I
still prefer to use my Performa 630 (20 Mb RAM, system 7.1.2) for most
things.

Might seem odd, but it feels like the work goes faster when I use the
Performa and POV-Ray 3.1 NonFPU to write the geometry, doing
thumbnail-sized previews when needed, and then shuttle it over to the G3
via LocalTalk and add the finishing touches there before rendering it.

Oh well. Back to work.
