	"The Connection Machine" by W. Daniel Hillis is an axcellent
summary of the motivation behind the effort at Thinking Machines.  It
is available from Mit Press as ISBN # 0-262-08157-1.

	Chapters:	Introduction
			Programming
			Design Considerations
			Prototype
			Data Structures
			Storage Allocation
			Relationship To Physics

	The book introduces some novel approaches.  I am very interested
in finding out how their effort maps into actual device simulation
and image understanding problems.  Any results from TMIers on the net ?
