Looking good, yeah. But I am quite concerned about the graphics performance. Before you begin screaming and yelling at me: yes, I have read the text alongside the video. It is an alpha release of AOS4, with lots of delaying factors still built in. On the other hand, this is a 933 MHz G4, with a fast Voodoo 3, and lots of memory bandwidth. Such a system is not a slouch and that makes me wonder about what is going on internally.

Of course, I am not going to condemn a system in alpha stage. Let's just say that the video shows there is really a lot of room for improvement, and that I have full confidence that the finished system will do justice to the hardware which is powering it.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.
