I've just read about the HP-835 TurboSRX in 'eXchange' (a publication about
HP products) and am drooling over it.  Wow - I want one.  We currently have
a fully configured HP-350 SRX and are very impressed with what it can do
but this TurboSRX must really soak up the Watts (the normal SRX has 2 power
sockets (rated at 8 amps each)).

But ..... (now to the real point of the posting)

What the heck are:
   "Multiple obscurable movable accelerated (MOMA) windows allowing
    multiple windows (up to 32) to be created moved obscured and
    simultaneously accelerated."

I'm sure I missed something in my somewhat limted education....but what
are 'accelerated windows'.

P.S.   For those who aren't in the know, the TurboSRX is like the normal
       SRX (a real time solid rendering graphics system - 16 million
       colours simultaneously, 16-bit Z buffering, multiple light sources,
       surface shading and lots lots more) but with a speed increase of
       3-10 times (just tell me how?) and loads more bits done directly
       in hardware or microcode - radiosity, ray-tracing, Gouraud shading,
       etc etc etc
