Bryster, you're great, man! I was thinking I was the only one to watch mesmerized the dots while the system is defragging, LOL :) I took the habit to render overnight(s). In fact, I just can't stand anymore the sight of the white line... it remembers me that movie with K Sutherland and J Roberts... "Flatliners", I think. :) Plus, it helps a lot to preserve your visits to Rosity galleries and forums for when your image is rendering... here the time passes so smoothly... S.
