I know Richard likes Utah 3D trivia, so I'll share... Back in 1998 or so when
Computer Associates bought Viewpoint DataLabs (in Orem), one of their motives
was to use the 3D modeling resources of the company to create 3D models
of common PCs, interior and exterior. This was to become an element of
one of CA's expensive enterprise PC-monitoring / help desk applications.
Not only would the help desk be able to look up the details of the PC on
someone's remote desk, they'd be able to see a 3D model of the computer
and its interior cards. I don't know if this ever came to be.
