  19. Actually, more the opposite is true. Having failed to build an extremely
  20. robust cross platform rendering network (ScreamerNet), they have realized
  21. what a daunting task it is and given up on the idea. This is not to say
  22. that ScreamerNet doesn't currently work (it does), but that it has a fair
  23. amount of networking problems and the support issues across all the platforms
  24. quickly becomes a nightmare for anyone not setup to deal with them.
