1922 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1923 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1924 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1925 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1926
1927 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1928 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1929 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1930 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1931 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1932

1934 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
