- That same arguement can be made for EGS as well...., as it was a
- 'standard', but nobody seemed to care about that either. And since this
- is regarding the Z2 version of retina, which CyberGfx in their infinite
- wisdom have decided not to develop for... what other choice does one have?
-
- Besides, actually all the major players for gfx have had a shot with the
- retina. (Adpro, ImageFX, TV Paint, etc.) Unless I have missed
- something, there is nothing wrong with my card and support from it, aside
- from CyberGfx itself. (And the emulation, although not perfect, works
- flawlessly!) I doubt I am alone on that as well.
