Yep. That's my number one "missed opportunity" story. But it's not my only brush with fame. I also wrote the first ever computer program to play "Life" (and came close to achieving fame that way, too - I tracked the "R" pentomino for 1000 moves before I ran out of space. If only I'd continued a little longer I'd have found the final configuration, which is achieved after 1103 steps. And I wrote a computer program to render Mandelbrot set images (on a film recorder attached to an Apollo) which Benoit Mandelbrot liked enough to ask for a set of the prints. In return I got him to autograph a print of the Mandelbrot set (which I still have somewhere ...) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
