# About me
have lived in the Vancouver area since early 60'sretired after 40+ yrs heavy construction work
which took its toll on my body
I do have a lot of time to surf the net and found this wonderful place to enjoy other peoples fractals
I found fractals about 15 yrs ago and dabbled a bit
after a year or two work got in the way with out of town jobs
Just recently found Fractal Explorer again and started up to see what I could come up with
I really enjoy doing this and seeing what other people create
Have tried Fractinct and Ultra Fractal but always come back to FE For me it is the One
Used to write my own formulas but with windows 10 the compiler won't work for me
Eventually I will partition my HD and put XP on it for full use of FE
Til then will muddle thru

Oooh you do fractals too! I use JWildfire. Sorry to hear the win10 compiler won't work for you. It sure sounds like you know your computer stuff pretty well! I finally gave up and got another machine to run xp for some (non fractal) software I have that won't run on 10. You get something good and they have to make hard with their "up"grades. Bleah! Best of luck getting your fav fractal program fully running again. You do great work!
Thank you for faving my Fractal Tweak 02. Have a great summer!

Yes I only use Fractal Explorer for now
with win10 I have to run in compatablity mode
for most of the program to work
I hate updates
Just leave it alone!!!
And thx for the great comment
Btw you do some great stuff also

Gary,
I am going through my gallery and making folders. Just doing the Birthday one is taking hours but I ran across a Fractal Explorer image and I had posted the spot file if you are interested in it.

Lea
This file name sounded familiar
so I went back thru some of
the spot files you sent me
awhile ago
Btw I have about 300 from you
This was one of 9 with that name
(a,b,c,E,F and reworked d and sierp)
This particular one is
The Perfect Spot Reworked
So already had it
before I downloaded again
Oh well
But thx anyway Bud

Okay, I didn't remember.Β It took me over 7 hours to go through my gallery to move just all the Birthday images I have made people here.Β But I had to go through every single image I have ever posted.Β Β Not sure I am going to do any more folders.Β It takes too long to do that stuff and I can't sit that long because of the circulation issue I have.Β I thought it would be cool to have folders like other people do,Β sort of makes it easier to find their art, but this won't work for me, but now I know.Β

Β Thanks for the Β I used to think Sierpinski fractals were ugly!Β I just love them and have for years.Β

Well ugly might be too strong
Sometimes I find that certain
fractals don't look very appealing
at all but others are just so great
I don't think it matters to meΒ
where they come from, whether you
start with the Madelbrot or
someone's spot file or even your own spot
I'm sure if you dig deep enough or change things
you can find something that appeals to you
Probaly the only change I would make
would be to add a little colour
But that is just me
Just keep on keepin' on

Actually believe it or not when I first used FE for the first time I thought the Mandelbrot was really ugly too!Β Β Over a period of time I came toΒ see the beauty in it as well.
I usually love lots of vivid colors but from time to time I like to do understated and monochromatic fractals too.Β This spot file might be in among those I posted in my stash or sent you.Β
