IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

It's late at night in the software development lab and the last minute
additions
are being made to MagicSoft's latest offering.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I created the box graphics with Corel Draw 7.

The walls and floor were created with a height field.  I orignally wanted to
make the lab round, like a tower, but never got the walls to curve
satisfactorily.

The "bits" going into the box were placed randomly with some functions I wrote
to
add jitter as a function of where they were in their path.

The books came from Sonya Roberts' include files.  The candle smoke was borrowed
from
another artist who did gofood a few rounds back.  The smoke in the box is done
with a halo.
