Jim, as you know I'm no computer techie, but I recently saw a demonstration of 3D hardware at Boeing that made my eyes pop. There was a small company demonstrating 3-D boards that cost a few thousand dollars that could replace dedicated flight simulators costing hundreds of thousands! But these boards required very fast PII processors and other state of the art hardware to work properly. Altogether, the system cost a couple of orders of magnitude less than dedicated flight simulators. I think the lesson is that hardware advances spawn additional advances which are basis for progress. Progress is desultory, and sometimes you need a critical mass of progress before that next commercial leap materializes. I would never like to bet against the demand for new technology. Regards, Paul
