Apophenia

Why must all software have teh suck?

"Oh cool, Graphviz does just what I need!"

Note to self: don't have bought "Advanced System Optimizer", even if it did get great reviews at that one site. It's a useless buggy monstrosity.

And don't trust that one site.

Particularly since it also recommended Webroot Spy Sweeper, which had several bizarre false positives.

I'm always amused about the quotes on the crash message,



The memory could not be "read". The program has encountered an "error". Perhaps "you" have lost some "work" you wanted "saved".

I encountered a few bugs right away. I suspect it has a long way to go before it's a Photoshop killer; don't know how it compares to Illustrator. I did like it way back when it was Fractal Design Expression and was sorry to see it disappear.

You can download Creature House Expression 3.3 Beta too... I imagine it's more functional than Acrylic at the moment.
