Someone a year or two ahead of me in college put together something that calculated and printed a detailed Hilbert curve in PS - not that impressive now, but it took a hellaciously long time to run on the first LaserWriter with PS support.

IIRC that was worth doing because the first LaserWriters shipped with generally beefier configs than the general-purpose personal computers which sent jobs to them.
