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. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
