I have. My wife thinks I am nuts, but some lousy programs become very interesting when they are B&W. I got the idea by watching some monochrome music videos. They seemed so powerful and meaningful and then I realized it was the fact that they in a form that I was really tuned in to. The music was ok but it was the highly stylized flow of B&W images that got my blood pumping. Hence, I am also addicted to old movies and 50's-60's reruns on TV Land. So try it this weekend. I'll bet you will start applying the rule of thirds to "Seinfeld" or tweeking the contrast on "60 Minutes". Have a great weekend everybody. Mark (currently manic) Newport - -------- R.
