What is "SRS BSNS"? (Serious business?)

And IrfanView has been around for a long time..  I've been using it since around 2002, maybe?  After 24 years, I'm very used to using it. :)

I've installed XnViewMP, although I haven't used it a whole lot yet.  And I haven't seen Nomascs or gthumb..

I plan to try it out. :)
