SPUG: SOHO XP -- past status and future proposal

[Dan Sanderson]

FWIW, the frost simulator was indeed a fun couple of hours, and the ways
in which my lousy little solution was less than ideal, compared to other
posted solutions, were instructive and interesting (to me :).  It was fun
to do by myself, but I can imagine it being a good pair experience.
Others obviously had fun generating pretty graphical output, too.
Satisfying for a snowless Seattle...
