Tony-
"Trying to click the maximise button can add up to 1 second (upto 10 seconds if i've partaken of some alcohol) to the amount of time it takes. If you view 60 images then you've wasted 1 minute (upto 10 minutes inebriated!) just trying to get a mouse pointer onto a button."

Holey smokes! I never looked at it THAT way. One can extrapolate this algoritm in even further and need I say, more disturbing, orbit directions:

Ergo and to-wit:
Assuming the adequate number of iterations to properly trap the cylindrical orbit of but ONE 16oz/pixel Mandel-Bud is around 7.5e11 - (2.5e9Gb/s x 60sec[iterations])x 5 [minutes to Bailout] - then it's not hard for me to see that this could cause beer to be left on the "Inside" of the cylindrical array (sorta like that black spot in the middle of too low iterated Julia spirals but not - yikes!) as all this clicking will cause my standard.ufm beer trap to Bailout early due to an inadequate number of iterations increasing the time to render fully a 12 pack to values unconducive to going to work the next day. Therefore, I'd have to curtail the expected number of cylindrical beer orbits I could consume in a feasable time by something on the order of one complete cylindrical orbit every 25 minutes because I just don't have that much sick-leave saved up. Whoa......that's HEAVY..... Hey, thanks, man, for saving me from making a BIG, and overly optimistic mistake in my forecast number of cylindrical Mandel-Bud orbits 2 nite! :-)

(Don't ask me! - I just type what the voices tell me to....lol)
