you cannot avoid noticing that it comes alive only if the subject is hardware. With the exception of Hal and Jack there is NOT ANY one posting with reference to fractals. Why?
The reality is that the original Fractint in a DOS program so it takes special effort to be able to run it on modern (or even decade-old) machines. For this reason I think some discussion on virtual machines, OSes, and hardware is asppropriate, especially since any newcomer would likely have no idea how to run Fractint. I have appreciated the discussion on virtual environments and have learned quite a bit. That said, folks who share fractal parameters and Fractint results are especially to be appreciated. And I certainly agree that it would be too bad for the discussion to get reduced only to software and hardware environments. I don't think we're to close to that yet. Tim
