>>  about 1992, I studied computer graphics in university.

Very cool. I was doing the same. I was at Ohio State in 1980...worked a bit in
the super-computer lab testing LightScape and pre Renderman. Chuck Csuri of
Cranston Csuri was teaching and doing mind blow art there. That's how I got
hooked on 3D. They had some crazy hardware for the time.

FYI ...I still live in the Columbus region. Gray and rain today. haha
