	There is a Turbo Silver Special Interest Group:

		Turbo SIG -Victor Osaka
		1341 Ocean Ave. #349
		Santa Monica, CA 90401
	They produce a fine monthly bulletin (now 8 pages) with
	many tips, tricks, and reviews. Subscription rates are:
		$12.00 US per year
		$25.00 (other countries)

	Also Victor Osaka (of Turbo SIG) has published a book (i
	haven't seen it) called * A Beginner's Journey in Turbo
	Silver* ($18.95) (same address as the above). It claims
	to be packed with techniques, tips, and exercises...
	covering lighting techniques, visual-image files, computer
	modeling, raytrace theory and imaging via RAM...

	BTW, i have no connections to the above other than receiving
	the monthly bulletin.
