Sit in a formica booth at the Prime Time Cafe, a gorgeous riot of '50s kitsch, and waitresses dressed like early TV moms dote on you as if you were Wally and the Beaver...

Within the next five to eight years, predicts Jim Clark, chairman of Silicon Graphics, the leading manufacturer of 3-D workstations, "we'll see the kind of images Tin Toy represents on an ordinary personal computer...
