They would then throw the pictures in a PowerPoint. Nothing like the pros do with Flickr ;) but this was before I knew that Flickr even existed.<BR/><BR/>Along the lines of fractals, I found that my students always liked to see pictures of digital camouflage - which is a small scale application for fractals. <A HREF="http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/hyperstealths-fractal-camo-patterns-successfully-tested-for-aircraft-01716/" REL="nofollow">This page</A> is sweet, for example, for showing jets and buildings with and without digital camouflage.<BR/><BR/>Amazing stuff.Darren Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578208859042859340noreply@blogger.com
