Message-ID: <959@elsie.UUCP> Date: Mon, 11-Jun-84 09:02:09 EDT Article-I.D.: elsie.959 Posted: Mon Jun 11 09:02:09 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 12-Jun-84 01:04:02 EDT Organization: NIH-LEC, Bethesda, MD Lines: 13 I've been reading up on Masscomp 500 series stations. I get the impression that on the Masscomp it's easy to do graphics work ("Hey, box--draw a red line from here to there; now draw a blue rectangle with these corners") and it's considerably less easy to do image work ("Hey box--here's a pixel-by-pixel description of a color photograph of my grandparents--put it up on your screen"). Does your impression match mine? What "less than the cost of a VAX" boxes out there CAN do image work? -- ...decvax!allegra!umcp-cs!elsie!ado (301) 496-5688
