BEWARE!

Counterfeit Round Tuits have been reported lately. Maybe you have picked 
some up in your local supermarket. They can be recognized by their 
low-grade material, fancy lettering, blank reverse sides, and of course, 
their total lack of effectiveness. Should be treated as mild chemical 
waste when disposed of.

Basic settings for sslt.

I thought that the basics were not good enough, especially for the 
smaller text, so I set mm_per_unit to 5. Looks already better methinks.

Ah, at last what I called for! And of the finest material indeed. I hope 
it doesn't break during shipping though.

It /will/ break I am afraid. Too thin.

Did /you/ order these counterfeits? Shame on you!

Still more tweaks on the tuits to do...

I submit this for your verification.
I am a bit suspicious of its pristine condition with no visible sign of 
wear. The edges are milled and the lettering is embossed. The only thing 
that alays my doubts is its efficacy in prompting me to start rendering 
again after a seven month lay off. I am currently rendering a pictorial 
view overnight (50% after 2.5 hours) with higher settings.

Stephen, that is not only a fake but it also carries the virus
'MaybeLater'. Isolate it. Destroy it at once.

So now we know who sends out those "Your PC is infected" emails.
