From OSNews:- Andrew from SciTech writes: "SciTech SNAP Graphics now supports 180 different graphic chipsets. With that said we have been hearing that we now support too many different cards. So OSNews faithful, how many graphics cards should we support and which cards should make the cut in the next release?" And to add to this question, which OSes SciTech should add support for?

This article should be in Web, not News shouldn't it? It just links OSNews?
Where is the news value?

Hmmm, I just found this quote from SciTech to be interesting:

"Additionally we estimate that you can add support for SciTech
SNAP Graphics for your OS in as little as 1000 lines of code -
if your a coffee drinker and excited about your project this should
mean that in less than 1 week you can offer fully 2D accelerated
graphics support for nearly every chipset ever created!"

I guess SNAP is a good idea if it's this quick and easy
to implement and adds so much support.

Yes it looks that way. Well, then this might not cause any delays of OS4 after all?

Excuse me, but wasn't this fact repeated time and time over by Hyperion staff just
a couple of days ago? ;-)

Hmm... how can you support too many cards and concern yourself with which ones to eliminate? Presumably they just mean freezing development for obscure/outdated chipsets.
