Bill, The "tearbio" fractal is here: http://mark.stosberg.com/Ideas/Fractals/high_school/TEARBIO.GIF I think for that one I probably fiddled with the parameters some-- it was a variant of the stock Mandelbrot fractal. There's a bit an explanation on how I made them (10 years ago!), here: http://mark.stosberg.com/Ideas/Fractals/high_school/ These days I've played with a program named "kfract" for unix. Although I don't work with fractals much anymore, I haven't found a program I liked as much as fractint. It was highly configurable, providing for many options and endless hours of enjoyment. :) Since fractals can have infinite depth and detail, by tweaking the parameters of a fractal a bit and zooming in to a particular area, it's quite possible that you end up looking at image that no one else has found before. That was part of what made it fun for me.
