From roth@ens.ascom.ch:
Exellent modelling of the HDD, the books could still use some work (especially
the one in the background), the pages are bent to heavily at the middle

From djconnel@flash.net:

Nicely done!!! Texturing is excellent, and the composition is a nice
compact representation of progress in nonvolatile data storage and
retrieval... the combination of the pen and reading glasses is
a brilliant touch!  This one is a worthy contender for the top prize.

Hey, you're not supposed to enter photographs... seriously, composition is
the only flaw I can find in this render... looking at the picture, the
pen looks like your main "object".

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
VERY nice image!  The books are great, they look almost real, as does the pen,
glasses, and disk drive.  I like the concept you're trying to show here, too. 
I also like the subject teh books are talking about ;) Well done.

From daves@wkpowerlink.com:
I simply can't believe this picture. The lighting is just right, the textures
are bang on, and the modelling is truly something else. Perfect 20's here.

From chipr@niestu.com:
Interesting concept very well done.  The textures and modeling are spot-on, as
are the composition and lighting.  Fine image!

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Extreme reality is right!
Completely photorealistic, except maybe the lens in the glasses.
Excellent modelling, textures, and lighting.
The stamped metal cover on the left drive is perfect.  Also the
texture on the metal casting on the right drive.

Fantastic modeling, very photo-realistic.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Very realistic. Excellent modelling and good lighting.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
An excellent image.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Wow, really a great image. Only the way the pages of the books fold are not
quite
convincing. But the materials inside the hard disk drive seem perfect.

=====
From 101741.541@compuserve.com:
Kind of hyper-realistic, very well documented. Maybe a little sad ?

=====
From c_et_d@club-internet.fr:
Very realistic, very good work.=20

=====
From lpurple@netcom.com:
The pages of the books are a little bit too planar, but the modelling
of the disk drives and the overall scene composition are excellent.


=====
From r@dial-up42.webbernet.net>:
Well done.  The detail and textures on the pen and hard drive are quite good. 
The frame of the glasses shows some aliasing problems.  The difference between
the Bezier top pages and the rest of the book is a little too noticeable.


=====
From r@dialn-async084.dial.net.nyu.edu>:
Excellent quality textures and lighting.  Far superior in realism to the rest of
the images shown in this particular competition...
Notable for lighting, composition, textures
