...hmm, find it hard to believe that it runs in software there,  
because it's running in hardware on my radeon mobility 9700...of  
course, it could be yet another example of the vast difference  
between vendors views of shader support, or apple's ability/desire to  
keep a level driver field...?  I had always assumed that ATI was more  
finicky about what it would run in hardware...but then that shader is  
from an ATI sample code, and I know that I've had tons of problems  
running seemingly simple nvidia sample code on ATI hardware...
