For all new IRIS graphics programmers - I took both the Graphics I and Advanced Graphics courses at the Mountain View facility and would rate them among the best training courses I have taken. The Graphics I course is a *very* good intro to 3D graphics for those of you who have had little or no previous experience with 3D (I would rate it as a 9.0 on the 1-10 scale; of course, I learned 3D from Jim Blinn at Caltech [10+] - all things *are* relative!). The facilities were excellent, the instructers were extremely competent and helpful (Carolyn, Linda, and, of course, Mason!), and the food was pretty good. Only black mark I could come up with was that the room was either too cold or too warm! Now, if only the Hotline was as good... An unsolicited round of applause from - Michael L.
