I haven't tracked viz hardware since the mid 90s... do people just use
piles of pcs now? SGI used to be the stuff, but they may not be in

Oooooooh. I'm thinking there were only a handfull of these made ever,
so having one is a serious score!
When I was working SIGGRAPH, I worked the Evans & Sutherland booth.
That was early 90s. Now when I attend SIGGRAPH, I don't work anyone's
booth, I just attend :-).

Does anyone on
the list own the Power Visualization System?
Does anyone own a PVS in 2006, period? (bet you
didn't know Pixar was a classic HW manufacturer, eh?).
There is a Friend I have and infrequent poster to this list who has
one in his Garage. I think I
remember seeing {the PVS} at SIGGRAPH. It was the size of
a standing household refrigerator, if memory serves correctly.
And White, to assist in the Cool motif.
Thanks for coming by. So whose booths did you work out of?
