Yeowie!  I want to see this thing with a 3D joystick, roaming the
Mandelbrot set in real time and 16 colors at > 1K x 1K resolution.
Whee!  What the heck, how about _two_ joysticks, 1, 3D and 1, 2D, and
we can take a wild cruise through the Julia sets, or that 4D version
of the Mandelbrot set hinted at in the last Scientific American
Computer Recreations column.  If it's fast enough, and will do NTSC
out of that 512 x ? x 32 bpp mode, you could preprogram a cruise and
record it in real time without worrying about single frame video.
Awesome!  I may actually have to work for a living for a few months to
scrape together the price.

(Naaah, calm down Kent; you're getting irrational again. ;-)

Kent, the (totally weird) man from xanth.

Running for president on a pound of caffeine, an ounce of sense, and a
program of increased exploration and exploitation of space.  Support
your (probably non-existent - get busy!) local branch of the Birthright
Party:  "The birthright of mankind is the stars!"

Hey, it's better than dwelling on your stock portfolio; at least here
you've got a chance for a laugh or two. ;-)  Yum!  Eat them plastic
chickens, brethren!  Call me when I'm elected; 'til then, I'm going to
take a nap.
