; FOTD -- May 08, 2007 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I was very busy on Monday, installing a new computer in Fractal 
; Central, so today's discussion will be very brief.  When the new 
; machine is up and running, the old one, a P4-2000, will become 
; the fractal-dedicated unit.  The current fractal machine, an 
; ancient P200, will go into a well-deserved stand-by mode.
; 
; Today's image lies in the fractal that results when 4 negative 
; parts of Z^(-1.4142) are combined with 1 negative part of 
; Z^(-5.6568), which not accidentally happens to equal 4*(sqrt(2)).
; 
; Since I think the image is quite good considering the brief time 
; spent in finding it, I felt justified in rating it at an 8.  The 
; biggest mystery is why I named it "The Great Mystery".
; 
; The calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes is brief enough to offend 
; no one.  But an even quicker way of seeing the image is to visit 
; the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and view it there.
; 
; The weather on Monday here at Fractal Central was absolutely 
; perfect.  We enjoyed cloudless skies, light winds and a tempera-
; ture of 72F 22C, while the fractal cats enjoyed dashing up and 
; down the long hallway.  My day was quite busy setting up the 
; new computer.
; 
; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
; and are numbers subjective or objective?
