	I don't remember the name of company that actually made the product,
but I do know that Applied Ingenuity was at least -PLANNING- on marketing
the product... The company that invented it didn't want to hassle with
the marketing/etc...  I got this information from the dude from HAL
LABS who was in the Applied Ingenuity cubicle...(The author of TAXMAN and
a new Mandlebrot generator that he wrote that is in his II Technical
magazine.. Was kinda slow but the source is short as all hell... Of course,
I may be wrong in saying that, as I've never seen source of another Mandlebrot
generator).
