My beautiful dancing while wearing a Lycra suit went fine.
More interestingly, I requested my complete set of images on DVD.
They happily complied, and I hobbled my way back to the car and drove home.
I put the disc into the drive, only to discover it is some proprietary format that requires Windows. I don't actually own a Windows computer... I generally avoid proprietary formats and use Linux. This appears to require running a .exe to even view the images.
No, I can't open any of the files. They're not using a standard image format.
I'm going to have to install WINE and hope for the best.
That's terrible. That's absolutely horrible.
I think the person that came up with this idea should be flogged in public, and forced to throw me a parade.

I just threw up. You can try opening the exe with your distro's standard archive program. I remember that would sometimes work in the olden days to access archived files contained inside of a windows executable.

No. It's an exe file and the images are in separate folder in their own format. Some weird five letter extension. The images aren't in the exe. I can see the files, I just can't view the contents. I'll install WINE, eventually.

I threw up again. Can't open the weird format with gimp? What's the file extension?
