Paul;

  After reading the text of the CO the other night, I'm sorry that I didn't
make it.  Sounded like a good one.

  Something that I've never seen mentioned, but am roally curious about after
playing with Bruce MacKenzie's fractal program for a while... will/does the
MM/1 have a socket for a math co-processor?  This would make a lot of programs
_really_ fly!

  Here's somefhing else that may interest you if you're really serious about
the workstation market :  (Wall St. Journal 7/24/90 pg B1)

>> Edsun Laboratories Inc., Waltham Mass announces new graphics chip >>
collaboration with Analog Devices, Inc. of Norwood Mass. >> boosts quality of
PC displays to level of expensive workstations for > smooths out jagged
edges on curves and diagonal lines >> incremental shading of each pixel smooths
the edges >> directly manipulates the video signals to expand color palette >>
requires no additional memory and chip plugs into standard graphics boards >>
almost photo-quality images

  Sounds almosn too good to be true, eh?

..Jim
