; FOTD -- February 13, 2011 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image lies "Halfway to Infinity" in the same parent 
; fractal that held the images of the past two days.  I'm not sure 
; where halfway to infinity might be located, since infinity has 
; no limit and half of infinity must therefore have no limit also.
; 
; The image lies on the brink of evaporation.  A tiny increase in 
; the imag(p3) parameter, which sets the bailout radius, will send 
; the image over the brink, totally changing its character.  A 
; huge increase to one-googol or so will result in a totally evap-
; orated image, which must be made visible by setting the inside 
; to an active fill such as 'bof61'.
; 
; The rating of a 6 is fair enough.  I might have raised it to a 7 
; or so if I had not been overtaken by an attack of laziness, and 
; had done more work on the color palette.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is very near FOTD average. 
; This brief wait may be avoided by viewing the finished image on 
; the active FOTD web site at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; the original FOTD web site, not up to date, may be accessed at:
;

; 
; Morning clouds were followed by afternoon sun here at Fractal 
; Central on Saturday.  The temperature reached a high of 37F +3C, 
; but a stiff wind from the northwest kept things feeling quite 
; winter-like.  The fractal cats spent most of their time in the 
; sun.
; 
; My day was about average.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 
; hours.  Until then, take care, and when technological immortal-
; ity arrives in a half century or so, will it be for everyone or 
; only for those who can afford to pay the sure-to-be-outrageous 
; price?
