Yes, NO kidding.  I am tired of hearing requests for file format X or about
VGA mode Y.  Can't the IBM people at least keep their stuff in comp.sys.ibm?

It's not that I don't think there is a place for that, it's just that I
don't want to hear it most of the time.  (Esp. the IBM video stuff, I
won't flame your PC if you don't flame my Mac.  When I want to know how
to drive my monitor in some unusual way I ask comp.sys.mac.programmer
NOT comp.graphics hint, hint).

Anyway, I would like to see the split, as I prefer seeing 3D rendering
ala RenderMan, Wavefront, etc. and stuff like the MTV ray tracer.
(Thanks Mark)  Comp.graphics.sources would be nice, but would it ever
be heard from?

Just food for thought from,
