While we're on the subject of supercomputer companies going under,
does anybody know what happened to the Evans and Sutherland project?
I recall seeing a couple tiny articles in trade rags "announcing" it,
but nothing substantial.  One rumor indicated that after several years
and millions of dollars, they couldn't even get a working prototype. 

Anybody know the real story?

Thanks,
jp
