Actually you were kinda right, there is an Advanced edition and a Pro edition. I guess I never
noticed as the free version has pretty much everything one needs anyway, except for the AF
setting, so I set that manually in NCP/CCC (beats me why they removed it from earlier editions).

One of these days I'll get round to writing some kind of general intro page to it all, but not just
yet, I'd like to get a few hundred more tests and other configs included first.

Note that most of the pages are plain text. Not sure about the wisdom of this, but it does mean
the tables should always be displayed correctly.

For anyone completely new to gfx terms, I wrote the first site on the N64 with a general intro many years ago:
http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/graphics.html
but a lot has changed since then, many new concepts and functions, so probably a Google and check on the
wiki site is the best way to get info for anything modern.

Fairly sure if I ever try skiing I'll just end up in a tree. :|

Patience, as they say. 😀

Heh, you should see the UK's equivalent. It's worse than the US debt on a per capita basis,
by a long way. And personal credit card debt here is 5X higher than the US. Americans
absorbed the lessons of the 2008 crash, use of credit cards declined a lot; in the UK, nothing
really changed at all.

There are a couple of 7990 models which cost that much here, but most are more like $800 equivalent,
though I notice the supply is very limited atm (checked just now, Scan has none in stock, Aria has only
one model with limited supply, though Dabs has a few).

That's when I start trying to get them for my benchmarking stuff. 😀
