Brian, I understand. I read in the newest New Media and the Windows Sources about Autodesk's awaiting support for the HOOPS API, and all the board manufacturers clamoring to get a foothold with a software company with a decent rendering engine. Matrox, Videologic, Creative Labs, ATI, Diamond – these guys are all putting out 3D boards based on a variety of chipsets, which support different APIs – and microsoft and Intel I think are coming out with a standard that will be chip independent. Thanks, John
