I'm with Josh, and anyone else who disagrees with Ross on this one. I
may not be a prolific writer in this group, in fact I'm a complete
novice to the world of graphics programming, but I still think that
all of the messages have been, if not always valid, at least tolerable.
I've learnt a hell of a lot recently about graphics programming simply
by skimming over the messages on various topics, and the VGA programming
and other PC specific concepts have helped enormously. If people don't
want to read about PC code, we certainly aren't making them, and its
not as if this group has the traffic to warrant objections. Sure this
is not just a PC games programming area, and if people want to make
interesting conversation about other games related topics, they should
feel free, I dont think anyone here would stop them.

You might be able to read about VGA graphics programming in any hardware
manual, but books on graphics techniques are far from rare either :-)
