Yeah, like we were talking at the (popular graphics mfr) programming
course, we all were lamenting how acid was a helluvalot cheaper than
these puppies, and much easier to program :-)

But perhaps the value in computer graphics is that like in the other
visual arts, the experienced is enriched by the participation of
the viewer and the co-participation of the performers (in performing arts).

Treading closer to the boundaries between science and art, has anybody
given some thought to how to improve the atmosphere for insight (i.e.
to get a machine to suggest something like Kekule's benzene dream?)
