Brad,

I know you have your Wallstreet (or was it a Lombard) in mind, but the OP
was mentioning a Pismo. Hardware OpenGL is supported on Pismo. The new
Quartz Extreme won't be because of its higher graphic requirements (32 MB
VRAM, etc.).

-Laurent.

creationism n.: The (false) belief that large, innovative software designs

the void by the normal efforts of a team of normally talented programmers.
In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good designs arise only from
evolutionary, exploratory interaction between one (or at most a small
handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and an active user population --
and that the first try at a big new idea is always wrong. Unfortunately,
because these truths don't fit the planning models beloved of management,
they are generally ignored.
