Hi, Interesting - I understand what you and Paul mean, but I just don't understand how Jack sometimes explains things. Too vague and imprecise for me.
Funny, your fix looks awful on my monitor. Way too contrasty and almost cartoon-like. Usually the differences between what we see (You, Paul, me ..) aren't that great. Something's amiss. I'll grab the spyder when my friend, who has it, gets back from his trip, and start there. BTW, just curious - what did you do with all those extra pastries you took back with you (the things one thinks about in the middle of the night while awake with a sugar buzz)?
