Fractint enthusiasts everywhere, WINFract enthusiasts everywhere, I came, I saw, I fractalled! I have fractalled myself into a stupor.

I have enjoyed all of your work, but I am off to other endeavors.  Please remove me from your distribution lists.  Thank you all, and goodbye.

>Today's image is the last in the current series of seven Oblate
>pictures.  (Well, all right, yesterday's image had more of a
>Rectangular orientation.)  Today's image shows an Oblate view of
>a mini-Mandelbrot set lying in Seahorse Valley.  The Mandelbrot
>version of the picture may be seen by changing the (p1)
>parameter from 0,90 to 45,45 and resetting the x-magnification

>The pattern surrounding the Oblate midget closely resembles that

>main difference is that the pattern is distorted into a
>triangular shape.  This triangular distortion is typical of most
>midgets in the Oblate orientation.  The mathematical reason for
>this is probably known, though I have no idea of what that
