Very sad.  I've written several version of a program that would display 
the Mandelbrot Set.  You can zoom into the complexities forever.  Even 
more complex is that you can consider that the regular mandelbrot set is 
but a flat slice of infinetely larger multi-dimensional object for which 
you could just as easily zoom in or out by adjusting the level of the 
'plane'  that is being 'intersected' as to normally just adjusting the 
area size.
