If you're interested in visualization on a larger scale, we're using
AVS from Stardent Computer (and DEC, and Evans&Sutherland, and Tektronics,
and Convex, and Cray, and ???) on a variety of platforms for our efforts
in the W.M. Keck Center for Computational Biology.

While it's not the best system in the world, it certainly has some large
advantages, and it *DOES* provide an excellant "visual programming environment"
for casual users (I classify anyone who doesn't write code as a casual user).

Regards,
