	We are looking for a high-performance graphics engine that can
display multiple colored object that can moving in real-time. We are
considering the Megatek products as a lower-priced alternative to something
like the Silicon Graphics IRIS.

	Does anyone know just how well Megatek is doing ? Will they still
be around in 5 years ?

	How does their product stand up to the competition ? They can deliver
a vector/display-list oriented 1024 X 1024 at 60hz non-interlaced color
graphics engine with 2 1/2D (almost 3D) on-the-fly matrix transformations
for about $20000.

	Thanks.
