...library includes a well-stocked collection of software for Mac and IBM computers, and a set of reference books. It also subscribes to most of the main computer-related publications such as Byte, MacUser, MacWorld, PC Journal and Computer world...
...Soviets have yet to produce the Agat in large quantities, and its quality is still suspect. Leo Bores, an eye surgeon and computer buff from Scottsdale, Ariz., tried out the Agat on a visit to the Soviet Union and wrote about his findings in last November's Byte magazine.

He has created a computerized sculpture, Chromolume #7 (chromo-luminarism is an other critical term for Seurat's technique), that puts on a sound-and-light show at the flick of a switch. Soon he will fall through a visionary's looking glass into the past...
