The company was best known for its Jeronimo and Gemini product lines, and for the HydraVision display management software.[1] The main competitor for Appian on the multi-monitor solutions market was STB Systems.
The company was acquired in July 2001 by Colorgraphic Communications, Inc., which ceased business in 2007/8[2][3].
Appian Graphics originally developed HydraVision in the late 1990s[4] for their multi-head display solutions. ATI Technologies acquired[5] HydraVision in July 2001 along with Appian's HydraVision team to join its then-new dual-head Radeon 7500 and 8500 series.

gollark: The main issue is still billing for it, I think; do you charge the person who *created* a trusted script per invocation/by resource use somehow (and risk possible denial of service against a script by spamming it with transactions - not sure if this is actually a problem since it would be costly), or do you charge fees to the person invoking it (which is an issue as krist is not that divisible)?
gollark: No. Also, I reserve the right to not actually do this due to anything whatsoever.
gollark: Well, it could be launched separately and run along with krist if it was popular enough.
gollark: This isn't a suggestion for a krist feature, it could be run separately.
gollark: That has possibly problematic connotations.
