I don't want to start a "my machine supported graphics earlier than yours", but as a datapoint, I used a PERQ for my undergrad project in the early 80s. Since this was running Unix V7 (or smth close), I am sure you can get a postscript viewer running on it (or a tiff viewer for that matter), while you'd have no chance in hell of getting Acrobat Reader for it. Which gives me a nice excuse to repeat my favorite line: I use open source software not because it is free, but because I get to keep the code (so I do not depend on the code author to port the software to newer/different/stranger platforms). **vp
