The bad fractal news is that, due to a cat search, there is no FOTD for June 10 and will be none until June 12. The good fractal news is that the cat search was successful. We found two new fractal cats at the animal shelter, a three-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl. The new dynamic duo had been owned by a woman who recently died, so though one cat is a large black male and the other a small gray female, they have lived together all their lives and get along fine together. Apparently, the lady cat can take care of herself if big boy gets rowdy. We have not yet named them, since they are still familiarizing themselves with their new home. In a few days, when they feel at home, their personalities will become more apparent, and they will in effect name themselves. As a side note, I am curious as to the difficulty people are having running Fractint under XP. Maybe the incompatibil- ity exists only with the home version of XP. I use the professional version of XP, and Fractint runs under it at lightning speed, with no clumsy DOS-emulator programs that slow things down and all program features and video resolutions fully functional.
