Somebody at HP should wander down and shoot the marketing division. The HP products are absolutely wonderful compared to DEC and SUN stuff, but you have to go to SIGGFRAPH to find out about them! Come on folks! When is the last time you saw an add for an HP computer in the press? This game is at least 40% image, and HP never even found the ball, let alone dropped it! The wonderful HP Sales Reps can only do so much you know. HP should look at DEC, who sells equipment on reputation (PR) alone!!! **************************************************************************** Tony Burzio * HP is a wonderful company which is not really as Martin Marietta Labs * bad as its' marketing would have it be... ****************************************************************************
