1935 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1936 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1937 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1938 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1939
1940 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1941 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1942 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1943 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1944 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1947 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
