Good question.. I personally think it would be cool to throw a vector card
into a PC and just hook it up to a vector monitor. The question I see is
how close does the old hardware come to pushing the limits of the vector
monitors? If they can't handle more activity, then a PC wouldn't do much
good with it. In that case, you may as well program for old hardware
(besides, maybe you'll see your code running on a machine on location
somewhere.. how cool would that be?)
