Would I be correct in saying that if you program using the OpenGL
port, or SDL, you're not programming specifically for the PS2 and you
could port it to other systems that support OpenGL? Would you only be
programming for the PS2 if you're using libraries (your own or written
by others) that accessed the hardware directly using assembly? Can you
only access the full power by using the low level information?

BTW, how long do they take to process the order? I ordered on
Saturday, but kinda hoped they may have had time to process it today
(Monday), but they don't seem to have. How long is the delivery time,
as well?

Cheers,
Rikki
