That sounds good. I have often observed that a goodly proportion of
those who fein disinterest in eye-candy are actually rather impressed by
the most visually appealling stuff ... no matter how useless it is for
getting real work done.

Am I right in thinking that this stuff is actually useless to anyone
without an Invidia (or ATI?) graphics chipset?

it?
