B) I don't know if this will help you but we need X because we do a lot of image processing work and the graphics capabilities are wonderful- we also have several different types of machine and one graphics program can run on all of them. This is nice. -Devin Hope this helps. Yampalimardilor * a.k.a Devin Hooker Mage School, Glantri * University of Colorado-Boulder (Grad Student) * (Undergrad Student)
