"Yeah, pray you age so well. ^^"
Pros: I helped develop this little gem back in 1998. It has been basically untouched since. It was designed to be 1) simple and 2) stunning. It's quite amazing it has held up so well, what with the ridiculously higher resolutions that we have these days.

Without a little touch-up & refinement, this would be quite sella... read more >> - See all 4 user reviews Write review
