In turn this prompts me to say a BIG THANK YOU to

The Stone Soup Group, and those like Tim Wegner who are still working away

Others like Richard who have built new software

All those like Jim Muth, Paul Lee and Hal Lane who have discovered fractals, enhanced them, and maintained great web sites, and now of course Albrecht

People like Jack of Iradez who have posted animations (I especially like those with baroque music)

... and the rest of the Fractint community.

THANK YOU

I guess some of us just can't help it. We're addicted. As for myself, I failed to heed the caution at the end of the preface to the first edition of the book 'Fractal Creations' written by Tim Wegner and Mark Peterson, and published in 1991. The caution reads: Please be careful because the beautiful fractal patterns created with Fractint have been known to induce hypnotic states. Use [Fractint] with care! Jim Muth
