This is based on the documentation from panda3d explaining why certain
functions do not work on pc lap tops.  The trend in tek is smaller
faster exc exc..  based on what they said at the time of thier
documation and I would have to check this certain functions are not
available because of memory of the graphics card???  I am going by
memory and as promised those panda 3d functions do not work but the
program overall is fine.  There is no explanation in directpy but the
mentioned using several methods and the method they use in the demo
showing the island does not work but overall it works fine.  For
pygame the best I could get on my laptop was the outline of a window I
was never able to get any graphics.  There is some assumption based on
what I read in the panda3d stuff that leads me to believe it is
because of a lesser graphics.  I could be wrong..  I looked into
wxwindows a little further and have noticed more graphics stuff but
documentation and tutorials for that sort of thing isn't readily
available so hopefully there is a fix of pygame or more docs on
wxwindows (or tkinter) that I can use at some time.
