Oh, I understood that perfectly. However, you're making what IMO is such 
a bad decision that I felt I had to warn you anyway...if someone points 
a gun at their foot, I'm going to tell them point it elsewhere, whether 
or not they say they know what they're doing.

DirectX is certainly not the future. Gaming is unimportant overall, and 
has very unusual needs that aren't helpful to most 3D applications. It's 
you're decision, but must warn you that I see it as an extremely bad 
one. At least make sure you abstract the code so you can easily drop in 
an OpenGL replacement...
