    Nice program.
    6 gigs of RAM says Prat Zero? Prat Zero is just a joke around here, well he would be if he wasn't so pathetic.

    VERY FUN. No Install. I like that.
    Phones home (sourceforge.net) when you start it to do a new version check. Turn that off under the Edit, Edit Settings... then Save Settings as default. Seems odd to have to do the extra step to save settings.
    Loaded a 587KB jpg image, played around with all the sliders, changed to a TrueType font, played around some more, saved image as a .jpg file. Peak memory usage of the Ascgen dotNET.exe was 72MB. Loaded a 3.3MB image, did all the above, peak mem usage was ~104MB. Not a problem.

    This is the most fun I've had with an app other than a game for a long time. Just get it and play around. It seemed to work best for me on face pictures.
    Kudos to the author for a great app.

    I use Sysinternals TCPView to see if things are phoning home. Free from MSFT and very easy to use.
