They took screenshots of the apps, edited them to look nice, and then pasted
the picture into another screenshot containing the dock. Seeing as they 
"touched up" my app slightly (a window that should be labeled "untitled"
shows up as having the title "Robots") i wonder how much editing they did
on the other ones. Probably it was just the "quality" of my program
that necessitated the editing to make it presentable..
(Not to mention the slight exaggarations in the text..)

bad research on their part (or did they speak to you and then not include it?) 
complain to your local campus consultant :)

How many people think the cover is really lame?  You'd think they could get 
some pictures on there.
