Brian, I was thinking that you really have a great opportunity to get a major marketing lead on the SGI folks – atleast to the extent that you could provide the public with a very usable, afforable rendering solution that was very price competitive with SGI machines, and close to performance competitive. I know this is already being done with network rendering, and porting to Windows 95 (and NT maybe? for multiprocessor support), but if you could buy a workstation with a Glint chip on the VGA board, that would greatly reduce rendering time – that sounds perfect. Also, for AutoCad, it would be a great advance. John
