But I can be wrong. Yes, OpenGL != DRI. DRI is a *technique* often used for implementing OpenGL, but which IIRC sacrifices the networkness. > The easiest approach is the usb-memory-stick ;) Agree. Some Oz schools use that. Cheaper and more widely available, and can store bucketloads of stuff compared with many cards. If need be, could put a microdrive in one for several gigabytes of storage, but that would cost you some robustness. Cheers; Leon
