                 Examiner's assertions, these sections of Bajura are devoid of                                                                         
                 disclosure of a computer and image processor having positions

                          We find that Sutherland prestores wire frame line

                          We further find that as neither reference has to do with

                 art in possession of both Bajura and Sutherland would not use
