I think you misunderstood my point: OpenGL applications seem to run nicely on an out-of-the-box Mac (or fresh Mac OS X) install. Obviously, you have to have the appropriate drivers, but Apple appears to have done a pretty good of getting OpenGL-accelerated ones to you, atleast as far as we can tell. (Which is what I'd expect, if what they say about Quartz Extreme is true.) But anyway, on the Windows end, these folks run Windows Update, but I guess that isn't enough. They seemed to report getting reasonable performance on simple Direct3D apps, though... =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
