          Appeal No. 2003-0357                                                        
          Application 09/123,307                                                      

          We also agree with appellants that there is no suggestion                   
          within the applied prior art that the two buffer technique taught           
          by Engstrom for use with complex applications would have any                
          benefit when used at system startup with a display device having            
          two modes of operation.  The examiner’s proposed motivation is              
          based on an advantage obtained for complex applications and goes            
          against the teachings of Engstrom for use of double buffering               
          techniques.  The examiner’s proposed motivation for combining the           
          teachings also assumes a benefit which is completely speculative            
          on the part of the examiner and is not specifically suggested by            
          either of the applied references.
