The company that invented it didn't want to hassle with the marketing/etc... I got this information from the dude from HAL LABS who was in the Applied Ingenuity cubicle...(The author of TAXMAN and a new Mandlebrot generator that he wrote that is in his II Technical magazine.. Was kinda slow but the source is short as all hell... Of course, I may be wrong in saying that, as I've never seen source of another Mandlebrot generator).
