The DONOACS (Dept. of Navy Office Automation and Communications) Lab has 2 of 
the new 6085s and we have had a little bit of a look at the Viewpoint
software which runs on them.  The graphics are nothing less than amazing;
aside from every kind of paintbrush effect I could think of, it has bi-lateral
symmetry and kaleidascope effects.  Police sketch artists will go crazy with
it.  It makes drawing human faces posatively easy.
