>Dear Aad and List:

>This is a very interesting development. You can see the entire WIPO
>application on the IBM or EPO web sites, but here's the abstract for your
>convenience.
>
>We may be about to find out the market validity of a low cost conceptual
>modeler. Euro's were $1.07 the other day, making the price of Aad's color
>conceptual modeler about US$7,500.
>
>Since there's a lot of public information already available about the
>technique on the patent sites, please let us know more about the details of
>your initial product and how it came to be developed.
>
>If you pull this off, it goes a long way toward pushing the field in a
>direction that many have felt is the way to go. Good work!
