The Geometry Center was the first to use the name "WebSpace". It was a
WWW visualizer written along with WebOOGL. No one from SGI mailed us
about using the name "WebSpace" either. hmmm...

This is not a major complaint, but I would be surprised if they didn't
know that we already use the name "WebSpace". Especially since The
Geometry Center WebOOGL team participated in a VRML discussion panel at
last years WWW conference. I hope this is not how SGI does its things all
the time. They ought to be careful of using other people's artwork and
names.
