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"?
You got it. Although to be fair, it does look nicer than "flat"
buttons. Frankly, it's that big an innovation though. 3D buttons were
in OpenGEM 3 and were taken out from version 4 as the implementation
as of 2003 or so meant that it took up too much memory. Clearly they
either fixed the memory problem or just don't care anymore.

"Just don't care". I can't run it on my 8088 any more, although it runs
on my 286.
