I think it could be possible if we were running our own server. Though I
don't believe POVray supports command line, it's little buddy l3p does. I
don't think a 233MHz would be able to handle the eventual bandwidth this
would create. If any of you programmer's have any ideas, throw them this
way. I like the concept ALOT.....though like I said, our server would have
to run both of the programs simultaneously and handle bandwidth issues.
If anybody else has their member pictures ready, I think I'm a day away from
the big launch.

| A single 233MHz PII would only be a stop-gap, at best. Now a cluster of 233PIIs... I think we should farm out the rendering to a custom PC screensaver, installed on the high-bandwidth-connected PCs of thousands of AFOLs. :) (22 years ago, 25-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
