For those who can't see the ps version I recreated H. Baker's pdf from his postscript and it seems to render properly. I put it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/531485/Mobius_Madness-Baker.pdf But it is 1257 KB and I'm constantly running out of space so will probably delete it in a week or so.

Figure three seems wrong in this rendering--shouldn't it be a fractal?

Re: [math-fun] Cube root of a complex number
somewhat tangential to the original question, Möbius transformations map three points into three points. So, why not map the three roots of the cubic into the three complex roots of unity? You only get to use the coefficients of the polynomial.
I recall a paper in an ACM journal humorously dated March 32 some years ago where someond did that; I don't remember if the solution was relevant to the present inquiry.
