	   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Just FYI, this must be the Pixar hardware.  
    Pixar sold their hardware division to Vicom.

Right idea, wrong acquisition.  Within the past 18 months, Vicom
bought Gould's Imaging and Graphics Division as well as Pixar's
hardware division.  Their new image processor originated at the former.
