You know the kinds of funny errors people make when typing acronyms like substituting "figs" for "PHIGS". This list will become the basis for a glossary to supply media people with an understanding of computer graphics terminology. I shall post the availability of the word list as soon as it is available from the panel proceedings work. Cheers Richard J. Beach SIGGRAPH Editor-in-Chief (415)494-4822
