Ah yes, I think the name of the company is DeltaPoint. They sent me a
brochure (how they got my address I do not know) a while ago and I remember
drolling all over it. The graphics were pretty darn fantastic and the price
was...get this... $89!! (for a limited time I believe).

This was definitely an impressive *business* graphing package. Something
that I would buy if I used a Macintosh. The program did full color,
2, 2.5, and 3 dimensional graphs. I wish I could find the brochure but 
it is finals week and my apartment is a mess. :-)

I have a question for the scientific part of the net:
What kind of plotting do you need that is different from business graphics?
Tell me about the speciality stuff that you need. Mail me a postscript file
of a plot that use now or would like to be able to do if you want. Please
reply by email because I don't have much time to read comp.sys.mac. Thanks.
