OT: Hopefully this doesn't happen to your Level II display... Hi Isoman, Re: in other words...BLUE SCREEN. Yup, seein' is not believin'. The current MIT Technology Review had an interesting article on the subject of "Lying with Pixels". techreview.com Here's a snippet to satisfy the diehard conspiracists among us. [[And we know who we are, hehe!]] And that has some observers wondering whether real-time video manipulation will erode public confidence in live television images, even when aired by news outlets. “Seeing may no longer be believing,” says Norman Winarsky, corporate vice president for information technology at Sarnoff. “You may not know what to trust.” Which raises the interesting question: is Maria Bartiromo just a better, more life-like rendition of ZDtv's Tilde? (Actually, I prefer Tilde's saucy wit... ) The hard copy version of the article (as opposed to the on-line version) has more images to fully appreciate the effect, too bad about that Katarina Witt disappearance....... HTH, Ray
