Summary: until next year

>[ ...And so ends our adventurous tale. ]

There is one sentence that fills my mind at this time; one that (say
Amen, Brothers and Sisters!) makes us look past this and on towards
bigger and better things:

   "Pixar is going to have competition at the SIGGRAPH Film and Video
    show next year."		-- Leo Schwab, August 9, 1987


I can hardly wait.  In fact, I'll donate my own Amiga's extra CPU
cycles towards the realization of this dream.  Maybe we could do
moving Jell-O (tm), and name it "Pixar Slime Mold" (only kidding).

Seems more fun than a class-action suit.  Can you imagine the
Pixarians saying "hmmm, what should be do next year that will be
better than what Leo's doing?"  Of course, they could go the corporate
route and HIRE Leo and not have to worry about competition, eh?

Jell-O (tm) is a trademark for Jell-O brand gelatin.  The above
reference is to a paper by Pixar (what a small world) in this year's
SIGGRAPH proceedings, where they describe a room of Amigas working to
solve a ray-tracing problem involving various gelatin-ous desserts.
