It *is* odd that everyone I know who has even gotten
involved with graphics object programming gets in
this programming-by-desperation mode sooner or later.
I've come to think of it as the necessary chaos just
before the big spiritual break-through. In fact, I've
grown so accustomed to it that I pretty much start out
like this when I'm learning something new in the object
graphics realm. Saves me a lot of time, usually.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Now that I think about it, this is like a zen koan.
Just cut through all the intellectual nonsense and head
right to the truth! "What is the value of the graphics
renderer?" What could be simpler than that?
