numanoid - Shade uses a software preview system similar to Poser's. That's an excellent suggestion, and given the wisdom at CL of late, if they do implement OpenGL, it will likely be in that format. nomuse -- that's actually behind part of my reason to understand this. While I think the current group of folks at CL are far smarter than that, there is always that chance. lol However, as you noted, there is a very large chunk of folks who do not have graphics cards, and many of the younger, newer users won't have much more than a handme down system. one of the more interesting responses I got when talking about this elsewhere was what triggered this post. The response was "well, 'cause that's what I read in the rosity forums. If folks want it there, it must be good, right?". Given that, I sorta have to bring it up. CL does read stuff like this. Bringing it out into the open (and asking the right questions) is vital. Thanks for the replies so far!
