I'm curious to discover a really good explanation, in layman's terms, of what a *fractal* is - just a couple of sentences and no technical jargon. I don't know much about fractals myself: all I do is play around with Fractint a bit but formulas are a mystery to me. I've occasionally been asked what on earth these fractals are that grab part of my time, and I'm aware that whatever brief answer I've come up with was far from enlightening. I've no doubt any of you could do much better so I'd love to hear if anyone has a particularly good definition up his sleeve. A happy New Year to one and all!
