NASA-Ames is right next door to SGI, and we have a ton of SGI products. We were visited recently by a marketing/technical-liaison sort of person recently. He spent the day asking us questions about the sort of visualization we do here, and what sort of software we would like to see from SGI. I personally found it disconcerting that they were asking such questions so far into the project. -- jeff -- -- Jeff Hultquist hultquis@nas.nasa.gov NASA - Ames Research Center (415) 604-4970 Disclaimer: "I am not a rocket scientist."
