Anyone here remember when PowerPC first came out, circa 1994-1995? Macs came with a graphing calculator that would instantly graph huge equations involving x, y, z and more variables... in 3D and you could rotate and spin the graph all around... instantly!

Right? *grins* PS - That 22" Cinema display costs slightly less than your local cinema. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
