Wait hold on there huh? What's wrong with Intel based machines? They're so very easy to network together now I see 10 gig NIC's are getting cheaper... > You mentioned rendering.

Resurrecting an antiquated language like COBOL, I don't know there are other things involved. Programming languages are like fashion they go out of style... but fashions do go in cycles...
