Hot from the videolab, New Year time! :-) Very interesting news from our videolab: RightMark Video Analyzer (one of the tests, featured in the new RightMark3D) features already familiar girl, taking off the mask (yeah, a "test" girl :-)That’s how she looks on all graphics cards, including ATI RADEON-based:
 But if you install Matrox Parhelia along with the newest 1.03.00.42 drivers, our "tester" becomes frightened to death, her eyes nearly pop out after lashes are "cut off" by this wonderful Matrox product. Parental advisory: explicit for nervous and pregnant!
 It’s not the developers´ fault and no one modified the software as well, send complains to Matrox. By the way, note the missing mask, where should she get herself another one? That’s what really horrible :-)
