At the Hackers' Conference last year, all the attendees that could be collared were placed in front of a video camera and digitized. A list of attendees, complete with digitized photo, was laser-printed up and distributed to all. The list was printed on a LaserWronger, driven by a Mac. How to get the images into the Mac? Well, they had a Mac digitizer, but it was deathly slow, and the subject had to sit still for several seconds while it scanned the image in. Clearly unacceptable. So what did they do? Yeah. They stuck them in front of a camera plugged into LIVE!, stored the images on disk, then aimed the Mac's camera at the Amiga screen (which obligingly held still) to get the images into the Mac for printing. Hey, it *was* the Hackers' Conference... _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
