The following is an informal review of SIGGRAPH '85 held in San Francisco
last week. This review is by no means comprehesive. In fact, it is mostly
subjective!

As measured by crowd depth, the following booths were most popular:

	Lucasfilm	- far away the most crowded(Commodores aisle was
			  smaller ...|:-). Demo of the Pixar.

	Commodore	- I never did get close enough to actually see the
			 just released AMIGA.

	GE		- GE's 3-d version of their projection display was a
			  real crowd pleaser.

	Cubicomp	- featured live demos of the Picture Maker 3D system.

	Robert Bosch	- live demo of animation system

	Abel Graphics	- demo of animation system


	OUTFITS

Second place was the orange Hawaiian prints of the Symbolics people.
