	Good deal. Coding is something that will remain constant from a
non-videoboard GS to one with a SS (with a few minor modifications if your
code isn't a -complete- hack =). However, rescaling graphics based on
video mode is a pain (read: lameoid IBM game installers - I know them
well). On a project that's about 40% completed, rescaling and retouching
the graphics for higher resolution video modes would be a long process,
which makes a prospective video board programmer skeptical about
suport these new boards.
