Brian, Thank you for the reply. Maybe I'm just stuck in my ways, but
I dislike the java desktop environment, and use the terminal for
matlab. I use the "matlab -nodesktop" option, which I would think
triggers Java for the graphics; however, it still uses X11. I could
care less about X11, but I like the terminal command window.

I tried 2007a with the java desktop and the menus aren't even in the
menubar, is this supposed to happen? Using opengl with that
environment was *stinking* fast! Kudos on that. My average bench
scores for 3D were 0.32. I'm not sure why the mac intel bench scores
so poorly on SPARSE. Everything else it does well.
