This is the real reason why the trolls don't like them - they've got the
role of checking every single posting, in the hope that they can
"correct" things - like the degraded OpenGL which Vista is going to
offer, for example; Peter K's posted the facts, which are precisely
what I'd've expected to see. There must be such a lot of checking to
do. Still, as there's now a handy (more or less) daily digest, they
just need to search that, which could be easier ;-)

The net was never going to remain a techy playground, as the financial
potential was far too great, but it was fun whilst it was just techies,
wasn't it? Bit like amateur radio, really... now everyone's got a
mobile, but when I was a kid, speaking over the radio was the height of
excitement for a young male :-)
