Yeah it was on netscape too.

Interesting, the nvidia thing is totally logical, it'll be interesting to
see how it all pan's out. But my read is that it's all good news so
far & it depends now on the detail. Let's face it getting out of
bed with Microsoft, can't be a bad idea :) & nor can working with
the best PC graphics card company on new features, let's face it
it's good both ways, SGI get the benefit of volume, nvidia have an outlet to
try & develop new & advanced techniques.

P.S. Roll on SIGGRAPH, man will this be an interesting one.

> As an SGI graphics programmer should I feel betrayed or relieved?

I'm relieved (so far), I was not looking forward to NT lol
