Don't forget that together with OGL you also get the problems with different setups, different drivers and different cards. It can be a step ahead in workflow as you get faster screen redraw (that's what it does: faster sr and some options to see textures etc) but when something goes wrong, it can be the cause of freezes that can only be solved by a forced shut down. Or disappearing cursors ("smart" screen redraw etc). OGL "works" with our gamer's cards, but to have it really like it should, you need a quite expensive card. Also: coding OGL is very difficult as there are lots of variables. And last but not least: Apple still has not provided good drivers for the G5's gamers level cards. Many users of "high-end" 3D applications complain about that. Perhaps this sounds quite negative, but OGL can be the cause of much frustration.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
