Exaclty the problem that Tux_AQFH has.  It's timeing is for Steve's
computer.  With his Voodoo 1 doing 640x480 @ 60Hz and god knows what

On my computer with my Voodoo 2 sli at the Mesa default of 75Hz and

it just takes a lot of it to get anything done.

I bet if you gave them an assembler they would try and write C++.

No that's not normal.  You don't want to leave them in the boot of
your car.
