damn now I feel so old all of a sudden.

 

its not because SGI is obsolete that I am... or am I ?

argh.

wait till I get my shiny new dual quadcore, thats gonna be roughly 50 times faster than good ole Indigo.

 

 

and for the slider, I think most people are uncomfortable with sliders changing parameters without being aware. (©vandamme)

thats why I hardly use it.

That and the fact that the actual sampling levels it gives arent the ones I'd use.
