Consequently, it has been developed into just about the best GUI you
can throw onto a 286 and have work. See the latest version of the

Obvious comment: picking a better background colour for the screenshot than
"puke green" might be a wise move :-)
And I admit to being curious as to what "new 3D interface" means. Or is that
just marketing speak for "we added shadow effects to the buttons"?
