I didnt know something like this existed before this post and after
looking at their website, I know that middle managers at my work
would wet themselves with delight and rush out a buy it thinking it
will instantly give the company some kind of credibility in
simulation and 3D graphics..
I pray they never find this product. Thanks for the heads up.
