I used printed lines calibrated for various distances instead of the computer screen. I searched the test patterns and and a spread sheet and they were produced between December 14 and December 31 in 2005. I suspect your method was posted shortly before the above dates > PS: do you ever get veja du? ...that strange feeling that none of this has > ever happened before. :-) Of course not, or I would not go boldly where no simpleton has never gone before believing I had been there already and everything was AOK ("alright" for our foreign readers); especially as I have demonstrated time and time again I have the attention span and recall of a crack baby. (For our foreign readers, a "crack baby" is an infant born addicted to drugs [crack] as its mother abused drugs during her pregnancy.) Your point is well taken however.
