The American Airlines in-flight magazine for December 1-14 and 15-29 both have 2 page ads for the Portfolio, with the December 15th issue ad being on the inside front cover. Slick. However, I noticed something quite strange -- the display is simulated because you can't take a photo of a LCD display... but the font used is proportionately spaced! Looks like a bit of artistic license ;-) p.s. Greetings from the Very Large Array... even we theoretical astro types have to observe now and then... ------ Greg Lindahl

Why tell people something like that? You -can- take a picture of an LCD display. Why would you think otherwise? (Yes, you have to get the lighting right, but that's true of many photo subjects. It's certanly not "impossible"...) > but the font used is proportionately spaced! This, on the other hand is a pretty good reason for thinking it's a "simulated" screen... :^) --- John Stanley <dynasoft!john@stag.UUCP> Software Consultant / Dynasoft Systems
