Note

This collection of pointers is constantly growing and changing. I try to keep all the information current and the links accurate and up-to-date. The nature of the Web makes this a difficult task. Many pages have a short life, or service is intermittent or switched to another server. If you find a reference here that is consistently unavailable for an extended period of time, or just plain wrong, please email me and I will either correct it if I can, or remove it. Also, if you have created a new page with some interesting fractal information and want to have it posted here, I will gladly make an insertion to the list.
