Links: Notes: Special thanks to the viewer "Winjamer", who donated the new monitor to Category5 so you can see my computer display behind me. If you're using Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and want to run XPize, you'll need [this patch] for the time being. I should have mentioned it; it slipped my mind - Elisa is available for Windows, and Linux. (!!) A Mac version is also in their plans.
