INCREDIBLE BETA CAMERA

Hi all,
This is absolutely incredible!

You can actually take a picture of yourself using your computer monitor.

Your monitor can discern small electrical impulses and detect bright
and dark areas very close to the screen (1-2 feet). This is still a
beta site, and the image is blurred, but it works !!!

You won't believe this one!!

(Oh, and PLEASE forward the site to your friends! This beta camera is
fun and
will be a hit in the new millenium)

OK, here's the link...

The image may not be quite what you expect but heck, this technology is still in its infancy.
