*You will live long, Ivan!*
It was July 20, 2002, you gave birth to a whole footcloth for All, about “Hardware
image blur." She intrigued me, so I sent her a counter message.
IR> Using this simple device is perfect
IR> scanned photographs and many drawings look new
IR> attribute and chunk effects in intro and demo.
This is purely our way, the Spekov way! ;)))))))
Original, but it works! ;)
