I'm confused.. you were ranting about the XL, yet you posted a video of the IS.. :unsure:

I originally asked for a video of the old squeezeback. I found it and posted it instead. End of story.

You must have edited that part out, because i dont see a post of you asking for a video of the original squeezeback :huh:

As for your rant about the XL, simply put, the XL and IS have their pros and cons. The XL cannot do fading, the IS can. The XL doesnt render its own animations, the IS does. So, I think that the IS is better in terms of processing.
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I see.  Your edit was a little confusing, though, since you took out what you were originally asking for.

The result of the Intellistar rendering its own animations can mean complete or partial graphical failure if it ever were to mess up. That is like saving a movie in After Effects but not rendering it. You don't have anything there. With this being the case, I will assume the XL has the pre-made/pre-rendered graphics and icons.
