I have been lurking on this list for years. From July 1991 until August 1994 I wrote a monthly column called ‘Frenzied Fractals’ in the excellent magazine published by the local users group. Then I began a new busy job and was less than impressed when the editors often arbitrarily changed what I had written, dropped illustrations and failed to return some photos that I had paid good money for. After /Fractal Creations/, 2nd edition, came out in 1993 I tried in vain to get a copy. On 22 March 1997 I received a reply from Tim Wegner, then with a different address, saying: 'Hi Barry, good to hear from you. … [the 2nd edition of Fractal Creations] Great book, my best, now sadly out of print.' On 1 Jan 1999 Amazon.com confirmed my order for a second-hand copy of/ Fractal Creations//Book, CD-ROM, Disk and 3-D Glasses - Timothy Wegner, Mark Peterson; price currently unknown (Out of print; availability varies) It seems that a few copies are still around. Especially as I am now retired and have more time, I would dearly love to get a new or second-hand copy. My main problem is how to make a payment from Australia. -------------------- Barry W Smith P O Box 442, Jamison Centre ACT 2614, Australia Tel.
