It's a lot more relevant then the endless blather about when the next millenia
begins.

In the constant evaluation of hardware/software systems for visual simulation,
this has been one of the primary issues that has kept me working with Reality
Engine class systems. Since I have to work on that hardware, the availability
of Performer significantly aids the process, rather then developing our own
scene graph type application on top of OpenGL. I imagine that these systems
don't have the type of hardware accumulation buffers in them to do the scene
antialiasing, but thought I'ld ask.
