Okay, now let's not start yelling at each other. I have no problem with postings on how to program hardware here for any platform. When you are writing a game, you need to push the hardware to the limits, and this SHOULD be a good place to discuss doing this. The reason that alot of the discussion is about PC programming/graphics is that there are alot of PC owners reading this group. I find this group a good source of info about VGA cards, soundcards, etc. I don't own all the different pieces of hardware, but you can still learn from the discussions. Really, its not that hard to skip to the next message if the current one doesn't interest you. Or do people really think we should fragment the group and form rec.games.programmer.pc? I don't want to start any fights, just wanted to throw in my $0.02. -- Peter Brown -- Data General Corp. -- email: brownp@stuff.rtp.dg.com My views, thoughts, opinions and spelling errors are definitely my own!
