Re: SItoA-5.2.0 Official

Re: new personal projects

Amazing! Makes me want to step through my monitor again, but it's not large enough ;) Btw I wondered is there a chance to make the pictures in this older thread of yours work again? http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=56068#p56068 Unfortunately I can't do that.
