	Just a few examples off the top of my head that are going on around
here.  Analysis of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope images on a
Sun-3/160C; very graphics oriented.  Molecular modelling of filamentous
viruses on 3/160s; mostly mathematical modelling, not much in the way of
graphics, could be done on any floating point CPU.  Drawing molecular
models on Mac-II.  The possibilities are endless.
