Did anyone see this machine at SIGGRAPH this year? They (Privac Inc.) have been publishing some pretty spectacular specs for this system. They were supposed to have a demo at the NCGA expo in Anaheim earlier this year, but all that showed up was a monitor and a rather embarrassed salesperson. He claimed they would be ready for SIGGRAPH. Were they?

Yes, Privac was ready for Siggraph. I thought their system was impressive, although you should give them a few months to work out the bugs. For anyone who didn't see it, the specs are: 1280x1024 60Hz non-interlaced. 500 Megapixels/second writing rate. 4 to 48 planes. 12.5 MHz 68000 controller 80 nS cycle 32 bit ucode processor. 3D vectors - 250K /second 3D polygons - 100K triangles /second Evaluation price if you order by Aug 31 -- $14K Privac Inc. 703/845-1800 Just passing the info along ... wm
