  • Now come one guys! 1] SGI does _not_ own OpenGL. They owned IrisGL, OpenGLs precessor. 2] OpenGL is an _open_ standard ruled by the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (referred to as the OpenGL ARB), which includes companies from Microsoft,…

  • I can buy one trough my company to the MWST (VAT) falls off, but I get that back only at the end of the year, plus I have to stick 3 years with it then. But since neither germany, switzerland nor italy are more than a 1 hour drive away from me, I am…

    in Mikes Show Floor Report. Comment by xype January 2002
  • Try asking what plans Apple has for 2002 - lots of new hardware, software or simply promoting the platform by showing users how simple it is to use. Also I heared that OSX still isn't quite ready for prime time in print graphic design - mainly becau…

  • I think we'll see the next PowerMac revision soon enough - for now, Apple has the perfect, full rance consumer computer lineup - on the laptop and the desktop side. It's simply fantastic and I guess that MW Tokyo will let us see some real pro hardwa…

    in Marklar is a beast. Why not go In through the out door instead? Comment by xype January 2003
  • Yes, but Sun and IBM only sponsor development of items of their interest, not really including stuff normal users would like. India will "officialy" adopt Linux, but likely pirate Windows on and on. Although I would rather see them really embr…
