Jim Muth in a 7th
of Oct. 2003 correction says,
"The
'Projective Plane' fractal appeared on Jan. 6,
1998."
(not Jan. 1, 1998 as
I quoted from the
"[Fractint]
Classic FOTD 01-01-98 (Projective Plane)"
post
also from 7th of Oct. 2003.)
If I had read down a
little further in the list of postings I
would have found
this exchange:
