Writing novels should be real easy, since you don't need to do *any* low-level graphics routines. And because the video game consoles have built-in sprite hardware, etc., they should be brimming with wonderful games, right? >Besides, I was enjoying the current threads.

Low level issues are fundamental and necessary, but they are a far cry from creating a novel or even a short story. -- James Hague exuhag@exu.ericsson.se
