I'd recall days where a group of us would be huddled over some workstation flipping between images in xv. Somebody might even hold a ruler up to the monitor to measure distances between features of two images as we flipped back and forth.
Of course, there was the problem of finding "that image" from last month. Is it in the "old2" directory or the "new3" directory? Or the "new_old2" directory. Ah hell. So, you'd fire up xv to go searching around for it. 3/n?

I was always amused when I'd see video of scientists at NASA JPL or some similar place talking about a space mission. In the background, you could see that they've got like 50 instances of xv running on their workstation. "Ah xv, I know this!" 4/n?
