; CLASSIC FOTD -- ??????? ??, ???? (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal image is a lost blast from the past, which 
; originally appeared as a FOTD several years ago.  The problem is 
; that I have lost track of the original discussion that goes with 
; it, as well as the date on which it originally appeared.  This 
; is the same problem that still plagues my long-awaited but never-
; delivered FOTD-CD.
; 
; Since the image really is quite striking, and I have lost track 
; of the original name, I gave it the new name "Star for the 
; Ages".  The rating of an excellent 8 makes the 14-minute render 
; time barely worth the effort.  And as always, the finished GIF 
; image is available on Paul's web site at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The weather has been uneventful here at Fractal Central the past 
; few days.  The fractal cats have reasonably well behaved.  The 
; work backlog is still shrinking, and all else is well.  Until 
; tomorrow's Classic FOTD, take care.
