Leonardo is the package we have been interested in buying for quite some time for our Color Suns. Our Sun rep told us to wait until mid march because they may purchase the company that developed Leonardo and its price should drop. For the time being its just hearsay but we decided to wait.

Sun was not going to buy the developer of Leonardo but may buy another graphics company that does not directly compete with the Leonardo company. We are waiting to buy Leonardo for unrelated reasons. I was home sick (food poisoning) when I wrote this (true story :-) ) and believe me my desire to do something productive was clouded by delerium. At any rate the Sun rep has alot of nice things to say about Leonardo. Steve Bickel Steve Bickel bickel@nprdc.arpa Systems Engineering Assoc. (619) 553-9306 Naval Personel R & D Center.

For the record, our Sun rep told us the following: "In March there would be a local demonstration of quality vendor software that Sun supports and that might better suit our needs." "Leonardo (One of the Vendors) might provide what we are interested in." And is one of the better packages that we have seen ourselves but have not taken a close enough look at. "One company, no longer distributes the product we currently use and we might be better off waiting until we knew what would work best as its upgrade and replacement. Sun may supply much of the features we desire in the NeWS or OpenLook software for instance." Memory is often unpredictable and I wish the building would stop moving as well. :-) Steve Bickel Steve Bickel bickel@nprdc.arpa Systems Engineering Assoc. (619) 553-9306 Naval Personel R & D Center.
