    Hmm slow drawing performance of various nested NSViews was one hurdle... though it has thankfully gotten faster with recent OS X versions. The hardest part, though, was getting a working system with which to test... It is very hard to keep writing code without testing it.

    Yeah that demo is great, so funny how people go retro. If you could send it back in time you'd be a total GOD (though I suppose that guy is still a CGA god). Also 8088 Corruption is pretty solid.

Question: Can we expect a retina version of Reaper soon? Any thoughts on this? Will you move Reaper to a vector skin engine or just implement @2x images? Lately it's been a pain in the ass to look at Reaper, to much blurriness... btw, this is the coolest website ever.
