Re: latest scam: "X-RAY SPECS" for camcorder

Leigh,

Cynics are not always right.  After all Galileo really WAS seeing
mountains on the moon and satellites of Jupiter.  I recall that
an IR feature was offered about 6 months ago by one of the major
camcorder manufacturers and that they withdrew it with red faces
when the "swimsuit X-ray" effect was discovered.

Oh, and let me second (4th?) a big WELCOME BACK.

Cheers,

PS if I can get them back from another teacher, I'm going to play my
Lehrer records for my students.
