	yea, IBM came to mind, but lets be fair, NEC is worse and it uses stolen

	I have been researching visulization techniques for 4 years now and
	my main goal 4 years ago, was to bring visualization to the scientist
	and engineer, at thier level of understanding so that they may share
	usefull and meaning full information between each other visually.

	Another reason was that at that time, several scientist were being
	scrutinized for using false data, with visual tools I had hoped that
	such things would not be possible and that such tools would allow for
	a faster growth in research and provide a means to store the information
	for future references.  My goals remain stable to this day.

	But, let me comment here, I have been working with no help from other
	researchers, everything I have done to this day is based upon old data.
	By old, I mean, I usually get info, 2-6 months after publication.  So,
	I am interested in communication with others, so that I may refine my
	own ideas.  This group, was a great idea, and I am glad that someone had
	thought of it. Thank you.
