Hi all,
Just found this forum by happy chance. Always nice to meet fellow fractal fanatics!! I've been a fan since the 80's, wrote some of the earliest commercial fractal programs(FracTools and FracZooms) and too many tear-off experiments too count. Lately I've gotten back to playing again, still find it fascinating. I hail from USA, Boise, Idaho in fact. See you around the forum...

Dude! I was an original purchaser of your work! What a great application of the art of fractal generation. I think the per pixel calculation is far beeter and more refined than this bitblt crap of today. I have been wanting to get your method into a modern pixal array / depth setting. Are you aware of any current software that has the final resolution that yours had? I am not dure if folks here even know what I mean, but you stuff had a far greater resolution when zooming in. Maybe I just got bored looking and stopped too soon, but all the stuff I have seen around since your stuff is a bit underwhelming on the final zooms. Everything looks like a fuzzy approximation, kind of like JPEG compression. I loved your per pixel, per pixel row iterations. They seem to me to be far more accurate than what I currently see. I have, however, seen some nice hi res stills, but I have never seen such a result from any software. Bourbaki was cool. My computer wasted CPU cycles in the best way possible!
ANYONE in the group can point me to a hi res app? What have I missed over the years, and greeting to the forum, as I am new.
