       ABSTRACT:  This presentation  will  highlight  the  trends  in  graphics
       hardware  and  software  specifically  designed  for  use  with  the IBM
       PC/XT/AT  and  compatible  computers.   Specific  examples  of  business
       presentation  graphics  software  will  be illustrated including the GEM
       products  from  Digital  Research  Inc.,  and  VideoShow  from   General
       Parametrics  Inc.,  which  were  used to prepare this presentation.  The
       role of standards (CGI, NAPLPS, etc.)  and  defacto  standards  (GEMVDI,
       EGA,  CGA,  etc.) will be covered in addition to taking a look at future
       hardware offerings based on VLSI graphics chips.

       This presentation examines currently  available  software  and  hardware
       products;  other  topics  include market information, resolution trends,
       VLSI graphics processors, system costs, the role of standards and a look
       at  the  future of this rapidly growing segment of the personal computer
       market.
