Well, just to be accurate, Carmack didn''t say DirectX sucked, but he did say, and I quote, "D3D sucks!". It was a long time ago, and obviously you can''t apply that statement today, because it has gotten much better. They are both pretty equivalent today.

Why does everyone say supporting VESA is a headache because of different cards?? The whole point of VESA is to write one standard interface, and it''ll work on any VESA compatable card. Granted lots of them weren''t fully VESA compliant, but that''s what Scitech was for. It''s not really worth learning anymore (nice to know, but not very helpful), but it was very nice once.
