Renderfarm.fi goes Amiga!

http://www.renderfarm.fi/misc/aprilfools/amiga.png

It is important for our values that we support as many platforms as possible. In addition to our current platforms of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, we have decided to add support for some still strong but aging platforms. Today we finally finished our work on a the old Amiga raytracer "Traces" written by Ton Roosendaal in 1989 and our first renders are now rolling. Please report if you have any problems with the clients on your Amigas, and remember that no-one needs more than 16MB of memory!

You can check out the first test render ever over here (http://www.renderfarm.fi/animations/7915)!

Oh my... I have not seen a real live Amiga in decades. :)
I wonder if I can find a way to run this on an emulator or virtual machine, or something... :icon_mrgreen:


EDIT: This is an April's fools post isn't it? :icon_razz: Because if it isn't I am really going to jump into research of emulators and VMs!
