	There are numerous texts on the image processing aspects of using
a "frame grabber". As far a trade publications, "Electronic Imaging" -was-
the monthly magazine to read. It has been merged into "Digital Design".
On the cover of the June "Digital Design" is a VME based image processor
that does 100 million multiply-accumulates/second to 20-bits precision!
This is the hardware that that real-time image processing is made of.

	Yes, I would love to hear more talk about/with image acquisition
and processing, instead of just display intensive graphics. I'm interested
in discussing different scene segmentation techniques. Anybody written
C code for the SRI connectivity algorithms? etc etc
