Correction:  it *may* look like trash, depending on details.  It worked
okay for us in the CHI+GI 87 demos track (which I ran), although the more
limited resolution was a serious pain for some of the demonstrators who
used a lot of fine detail.  We fearlessly pointed our camera at Irises,
Suns, PCs, you name it; no serious problems.

This may have been an accident of our particular equipment.
