from (Terry Wynn @ Tektronix in Wilsonville OR) When on a trip to Cambridge, MA I remember looking at a system, possibly from Polaroid, which did presentation quality Business Graphics. As I recall it was hosted by an IBM PC, but my memory is hazy and it could be another standard computer or a dedicated system. I believe I saw it at a computer store near Harvard Square. Can somebody tell me what I saw? P>S> I was in Cambridge in December of 1983.

What you undoubtedly saw was a product named:
** Graphwriter **
from a Waltham, MA company named Graphic Communications Inc. (GCI)
I recommend thier product and I have not seen better TURNKEY
graphics ever! on a micro. It works on the IBM and several other
machines.

Not necessarily. Polaroid makes a system calle the "Pallette" which runs on a number of micros. They recently annouced a deal with DEC which will allow you to buy the micro and the photo system as a set.
