Hi Old Man Martz,

Sorry I keep taking us down memory lane, but I think it's important to
look
at parallels with historical events.
Oh no, I find this really interesting. I got onto the "3D scene" from a
gaming/demoscene background, on the PC in the early 90s. So I'm aware of
what transpired in the first days of "commodity/gaming 3D accelerators"
around 1995-1998 (3dfx Voodoo 1,2,3; Riva 128,TNT,TNT2; Matrox
Mystique,Mystique 220; Rendition Verité v1000,v2x00; etc.) but I know
only a little concerning what happened in the professional/large-scale
3D arena (SGIs, etc.).
So as much as I'm considered an old geezer for some topics and I like
croning about those things, I'm always interested when some other old
geezer recounts ye olde days from another perspective.
Crone on, brotha! :-)

Memories...
I had a fire in my home office in October. I was able to put it out
without too much damage but the entire upper floor of my house was
covered with soot. Consequently, I've been going through old boxes of
stuff the cleaning crew brought back and walking down memory lane _a lot_.
Just thought it was funny because just earlier today I was going through
another box and found my well turned, hand-printed, Glide manual. Was a
fun trip thumbing through that. Fun to see the old 3dfx stuff come up
again.
