<does this bug still exist?>

The credit card used by Bond to open the window was a credit-card calculator
sold by The Sharper Image, the high-gadgetry outfit.  This seems to be part
of a double tie-in: the latest Sharper Image catalog is a sort of James Bond
--"A View to A Kill" theme issue.  The producers of the movie and the
gadgeteers probably realized the benefits of cross-plugging.  The movie
no doubt had to make sure that the credit-card logo came across loud and clear,
so they gave it a dramatically-undeserved tight close-up.
