In my recent posting, I forgot to mention that I was exposed to video
tapes of computer generated animation by Eugene Miya at NASA.  Eugene
also mentions that I didn't nearly cover the possible applications
for high-powered computers running graphics programs.  Some of the
other applications he mentions are weather forecasting, medical imaging,
CAD/CAM, computer enhancement of satellite photos, and I think there
were one or two more that I'm still forgetting.

Eugene also asks me to mention the upcoming SIGGRAPH meeting
to be held on Thursday, June 18, 1987 at the Exploratorium in San
Francisco.  The speaker will be Alvy Ray Smith, the vice president
of Pixar.  He will be talking on the history of computer graphics.
A recent posting (5 June 87) in comp.graphics gives more details.
