INSTRUCTIONS
-2.
I KNOW THIS DOESN'T DO ALL THE SUPERNEAT THINGS OTHER VIDEOJAMMERS DO. THAT'S
WHAT MAKES IT ART!
-1.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SUPERFAST MACHINE AND A HIGH-SPEED CONNECTION. OTHERWISE,
THIS WILL BE PRETTY ORDINARY. ACTUALLY, DEPENDING ON YOUR ONLINE SOPHISTICATION,
THIS MAY SEEM PRETTY ORDINARY EVEN WITH A SUPERFAST MACHINE AND A HIGH-SPEED
CONNECTION.
