Another gadget...I'm strangling in dangling wires and bus port connectors..but this really works. Unlike those "before and after" wrinkle cream ads..this is untouched and for real. Next I'll calibrate the monitor on the left and do another comparison photo. If only those wrinkle creams worked as quickly and as well!

Ah, the miracles of the digital age. Not only could I put yesterday's pear in front of a watercolor done some time ago, but I could also change the water"color" to black & white! What is real any more?
