You're welcome. I was initially trying to target something that was  
uniform at the API level, because, as near as I can tell OpenGL 4.3 and  
OpenGL ES are completely compatible. But I hadn't been able to dig  
information on what platforms and hardware were actually supported because  
apparently my Google-fu wasn't good enough. I do agree that we need to  
build for something that works on all platforms, if not all versions of  
each platform, so I figured, which is why I asked for help with that list.
