As the author of three ATM drivers (which lie on the relatively
nasty side of networking interfaces) and one accelerated 3D graphics
driver (Permedia 2), I will attest to the fact that the <<accumulated>>
pain of bringing all three ATM drivers to a level of reliability suitable
for use in "production" environments was <<far less>> than than the
pain of bringing the Permedia 2 driver to a level of "will work for
some cool demos but is clearly not ready for prime time...."
