Hehe, this is a coincidence. Last weekend I found this second-hand book on Juergen Ziewe, one of the pioneers of computer-generated art. He worked at the time with KPT Bryce, Fractal Design Poser. He started with something called Sinclair spectrum, learned basic to use it, got MandelZot, and then changed to the AppleMac IIFX and a Quadra to wich he added 32MB of memory and a 1GB HDD. But then he invested in a PowerMac 8100 with 8OMB ram and a 120MHz risc processor. This was about ten years ago. It's good to read this. And to see the art that was produced in those days. With those limited means, he still produced mind-bogging cards and posters then. They wouldn't seel now, but without pioneers like him, where would we all be. I guess he still has a website.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
