  Where is Apple's 24-bit card with the QuickDraw accelerator.  I thought that
this card was announced and shipping months ago, but lo and behold, when I
try to order one, I find out that Apple has delayed it indefinitely.  What
gives, did Apple figure out the accelerating QuackDraw, oops, I mean
QuickDraw is harder than it first seems?
  If not Apple's card, how about suggestions for others.  I already have one
of SuperMac's 24-bit accelerated cards and am fairly pleased with it.  One
limitation with those is that the accelerator only works in 24-bit mode where
it's most needed.  It would be nice to see 8-bit mode accelerated too.
