Very true, Mienai, although I like the convenience of my simple image files.
The 'soap' shape displays the stone textures well, IMHO, and it's nice to
see how well the different stones work with text. Also, I did the first
versions of this scene before I discovered portfolio.

Thanks for reminding me about portfolio, Mienai. I've just had another quick
look at it. It certainly looks quite comprehensive - Ingo has yet again
done an impressive job. It's also not as scary-looking as it was when I
first saw it. :)

I *was* in the process of convincing myself to run the whole portfolio on
this slow old beastie, and then POV 3.6 became available. Now, I'll
probably wait until the official POV 3.7 is out. Then I'll run it on my
fast machine at work and put the results onto my flash drive.
Then I'll have a portable portfolio of POV pieces. :)
