I just bumped into this thread. Shiny!!!
I also have Mandelbrot's book. Read it some years ago. When I go home I will look for it somewhere on my 7 six-foot bookshelves.

I just happen to have a Mandelbrot Generator that I wrote in Perl, that is easy to use--IF you have a Perl 5 Interpreter on your PC. I will also change my avatar to be one of the outputs of that program.

So, I can't promise to answer anything fractal, but do you have any questions?

Hypography?
