I understand your frustration. We often get technologies marketed at us as if they are (basically) mature and ready for development. Then when you go after the thing and try to actually develop against it, you find that they are little more than a marketing strategy.
Can be really frustrating waste of time as you hit the thing from every angle with no success.
Good luck.

I was looking at the MS API for that.
Good luck getting it to work.

So they must have been fake for the tips to appear first. Did her full breasts appear while her head was still under water with only her nose showing? I'm trying to picture the scene to better follow the story.

Dear Bassam, In your imagination the story's rising, or falling, is higher, or deeper, than any mere words of mine can cast but a shallow shadow of. However, I will admit that the scene of the woman rising to the surface was "toned down" for posting here.

Oh, Richard, I could swear I checked to make sure I'd never posted that story here before ... Oh, what demonic force has possessed me on this night of dark spirits rising.
I'm just going to have to rip it out and put in another story !
cheers, Bill

It's still very good, though - that's why I remembered it from last year.

That's hilarious! I googled the cover, though I'd seen in numerous times in the past.
You are right on.
