| VISION COMPUTING reports record sales for September. |
| October 5, 1997 |
September was a record sales month for VISION COMPUTING. Following
on the heals of our efforts at the 1997 New Mexico Computer Expo, our
gross revenue this month beat our previous best month by almost 40%.
Additionally, sales for the year have increased over 1996. At the end of
the third quarter our sales are up by almost a third over the same time
last year. We thank all our clients for their business and support. We
look forward to providing additional services in the future as our
business continues to grow.

Prof. Frings' Max Scheler Philosophy Web Site. |

Within a week after we posted Prof.
Frings' Max Scheler Web Site the reviews are coming in. The site
focuses on German philosopher Max Scheler and has received high praise
for its content and layout. VISION COMPUTING designed and implemented
the site for Dr. Manfred Frings, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and internationally
known author and expert on the work of Scheler.

Today we rolled out the first version of Prof. Frings' Max Scheler Web
Site. This web site focuses on German Philosopher Max Scheler
(1874-1928) and includes text, bibliography, historical photographs, and
paintings. VISION COMPUTING designed and developed the web site

Frings has written many books and articles on the philosopher and the
Scheler web pages present material from his publications. Also included
are detailed bibliographic references in ten languages, information on
The International Max-Scheler-Society (Internationale Max Scheler

| VISION COMPUTING owner
gets high marks for seminars at 1997 New Mexico Computer Expo. |
| August 17, 1997 |
Attendees at the 1997 New Mexico Computer Expo gave VISION
COMPUTING owner Mark Leo-Russell high grades for his seminars on
computer graphics. Fifty people were expected to attend our first
Introduction to Computer Graphics workshop but almost 200
crowded into the Mesilla room at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Of
those returning seminar evaluation forms, over 25% of the audience gave
Mr. Leo-Russell perfect scores on all 16 survey questions. The results
of the evaluations are shown on the graph below. We thank those people
who stopped at our booth to discuss the seminars; your comments were
much appreciated. Since we under-estimated the number of attendees and
many other people stopped by the booth to get copies of the notes, we
were in a continual state of printing more handouts for the rest of the
Expo weekend. Our laser printer received a well-deserved rest after the
Expo closed on Sunday!
The chart below shows the average scores for each of the
seminar evaluation questions. Scores range from 0 (low) to 4 (high).

VISION COMPUTING is pleased to announce we will have an
exhibitor's booth at the 1997 New Mexico Computer Expo. The Expo is

In addition to our booth, we're also doing
two seminars on computer graphics.
Introduction to Computer Graphics - Part 1: Concepts
Sat Aug. 16 11:30am Mesilla Room
This beginner-level seminar will introduce computer graphics
and discuss the basic concepts of designing and producing digital images.
Topics will include vector and raster graphic types, resolution and color
depth, file formats, lossy and non-lossy compression, and image editing
software. The discussion will focus on producing graphics to be incorporated
into web pages, but the techniques presented will be useful to anyone wanting
to use graphics in their word processor, spreadsheet, or desktop publishing
program.
Introduction to Computer Graphics - Part 2: Techniques
Sat Aug. 16 1:00pm Mesilla Room
This seminar is an intermediate-level presentation and
continues the discussion of computer graphics. Specific techniques for
manipulating digital images will be discussed and demonstrated. Topics
will include resizing and resampling, color palettes, text and font
techniques, shadows and 3-D effects, scanning and digital retouching,
and image compositing.
