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.
