I find the arguments here interesting. If I were to develop an OpenGL-based app, I would probably need at least a week to get something basic working, and I’m sure that applies to pretty much anyone. If someone can spend time learning an SDK like OpenGL, then I don’t see what’s the problem with studying anything else important for one’s work. -- Gary L. Wade http://www.garywade.com/
