I'm thinking anti-aliasing in theory. Newer systems should be able to do anti-aliasing just fine. That there are currently issues doesn't mean that newer machines can't do anti-aliasing, just that it is poorly implemented. I was supporting making it entirely optional, even if it gets fixed to work nicely on new hardware. Now, call me silly, but I like to see software running on older machines. Like, SS10s. Is it that bad to view it as a bug when software won't work well on older machines? It wasn't long ago that I could still count on new software to run nicely on 40mhz machines, but the past few years that has rapidly been changing. I have software that requires 10 times the computer power without giving me 10 times the capabilities. It's not like I expect stuff like auto routing to be superfast on older machines, but I don't see why most of the system can't. -- Joshua D.
