- Except its not faster, and there are quite a few programs that write directly
- to the screen bitmap, which the Retina software has a specific "continuous
- update" mode for (ReSource being one such program for example).

- And, the Retina has an AVI player - that supports Radius Cinepak, and also
- supports audio playback.

- The only REAL advatage of CyberGfx over the Retina emu is draggable screens,
- and not CHIP mem usage for screens.
