As I was saying. Get the best video adapter you can that will run
with IDL. A Geforce 4 is hardly high end. It's old enough that IDL
must have caught up with it. Try using Quadro FX boards and tell me
about IDL's stablity.

IDL may be better for non programmers but if you are a programmer,
it's your worse nightmare. In many ways, it's the incarnation of all
the things you shouldn't do in a good programming language.
