A while back I posted for info on the CyberGFX and Retina Z2 situation.  
(Thanks to all who posted follow-ups.)  However, I also emailed Frank 
Mariak, one of the authors of CyberGFX.  For you Retina Z2 owners who may 
be interested, here's some of what he had to say...

well, it is planned for quite some time but is not on the high priority

Well, RetinaZ2 is quite difficult do handle because it has no linear
accessable memory.

So there you have it....uhm....or not!?  :)  At least he didn't rule out 
the possibility and it's nice to know that a CGFX driver for the Z2 
Retina has ACTUALLY "been planned for quite some time" when so many 
people were saying it wasn't.

Ciao 4 now, Vince.
