  28. SSEC Visualization Project</a> at the University of
  29. Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
  30. Mesa as part of that project.
  31. <br>
  32. <br>
  33. <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
  34. order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
  35. substantial piece of work.
  36. <br>
  37. <br>
  38. <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
  39. Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
  40. <br>

  42. <li>The
  43. <a href="http://www.mesa3d.org">Mesa</a>
  44. website is hosted by
