IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Unlike some of my other images, this one really didn't have a "message"
per se.  I just got an idea for the high tech looking tower from some
pictures of the game Final Fantasy VII.  The whole object was to make a
picture that looked wicked cool. I think I succeeded. ;-)
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I wrote a QBASIC program to construct the tower shape and the tube array
connecting the four towers.  It was a random process, and I just chose one
particular layout I liked.  ALL of the rest of the stuff I designed in my
head or on paper.  I was amused that a fairly convincing boat only takes 3
shapes.  If you want a copy of the tower generation program, send me e-mail.
