If you are aiming for a more casual demographic, then 2.1 plus some extensions are about as high as you want to pitch it. All Macs are still running 2.x plus a heap of extensions, and likely to remain that way at least until Mac OS Lion comes in the summer. All netbooks are stuck with OpenGL 2.1 or less (those damn Intel graphics cards). Most cheap PC's ship also with Intel integrated graphics, so similarly stuck. -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
