I will or could someone dispel or clarify some of the following:

a. Sun will or has introduced a graphics workstation with as much
vector processing speed as personal iris. cheap.

b. Silicon Graphics has or will introduce the "RS_6000 buster" with great
rendering speed. cheap.

c. SGI has an under $10,000 graphics workstation coming, as does Sun, or
they're already here.  

d. AVS 3 will run under X windows (which would be super).

e. AVS will run on Silicon Graphics.  AVS will run on RS-6000.

f. Silicon Graphics is developing an AVS-like product as is Sun.

g. SGI has a cool video card which produces comp out AND SONY
   tape deck control protocal (whatever that is called).


Are price lists confidential?  Can someone post the prices for new Sun, SGI,
IBM, Apollo/HP, Next products?
How about software? apE costs 75$ (?)
