Ah, but I don't use GL graphics.  The only thing I ever run on this
machine is xterm -ls -fn 10x20

The main reason I run X, is the fonts are so much nicer than what I end up
with at 132x60, which is what I run console in.  And, at 1600x1200 on a
20" monitor, I can comfortably run 4 xterms in a quad tile.

Oh, and the very rare netscape.

Thank you for the advice though

Mike
