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?

Needless to say, xv was one of those tools that was all about "doing the work." It wasn't flashy. It wasn't freaking Photoshop. It was effective. And it worked on my SPARCStation with 16MB of RAM. Seriously, we used the hell out of xv in our research group. 5/n?
