The trouble with With is that it is real tough to search for his name without matching almost every file on the 
internet, or in your own computer.

On yahoo groups, Carl Zambuto posted a note about his test results of a With mirror, on 14 Nov. 2005
"Subject: "With" mirror evaluation".  He said it was very good, but there were some issues with smoothness & edge.
