	Mr. Lipmann:  if my suggestion carries with your desires
		      can we talk resource sharing, as some programs
		      I want to run and you've got the hardware?


			My experiences are with the Silicon Graphics
			Systems and a New Processor involing 
			Sun Sparc advanced series which may beat
			Silicon Graphics (we shall see, however)
			
			Primarily I do molecuarl graphical simulations
			(i do it better than spelling) of conformations
			binding and reactions.
