Today's fractal is one of Fractint's built-in magnetic types. I remember generating these things on my
second hand 486-66. Those were literally overnight calculations. Ahh memories...
Speaking of calculation time you can save some by visiting http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com
for a ready made specimen.
