     Unfortunately, Second Sight is a dead end. It is priced too high
and does too little to attract enough users to make QuickDraw rewrites
worthwhile.

     Good video involves integrating more memory and more speed with a
decent video subsystem plus an OS which, if nothing else, does not get
in the way of programmers willing to develop software utilizing high
quality video.
