larger circle. The larger ci
There was a thread here a while ago about a program called xcompmgr. It
improved speed switching to and from programs. There was a slight memory
tradeoff, though.
However, the 1.5 has increased memory. The speed boost alone would be good
cause for its inclusion, but it also has some interesting co

it's a putty-like stuff that cures into a soft silicone rubber. It also
sticks to most things while it's not cured (but after curing is not sticky.)
Ideas for using this related to OLPC:
