Zap me if I'm wrong, but doesn't NEC stand for Nippon Electronics Corporation
or something like that?  It's one of the largest Japanese Electronics Firms
out there...  I don't see how buying a Japanese product would support
American industry.

As for Hercules, they're located about 2 miles from where I sit, right 
in Berkeley, CA.  and to the best of my knowledge, their product (the
Graphics Station) is far superior than the NEC Graphics Engine, which
I think is becoming obsolete...  True, the Graphics Engine is a standard,
but it's been out in the market for a while... while it may have been
a great innovation at its release, it hasn't really gone anywhere as far
as newer implementations, etc (kind of like the Video-7 VRAM card)

Just my opinions... I'm in no way affliated with Hercules, blah blah etc
