I've been looking at your out of the office window view (with some post-envy -- my office had a window onto a corridor) and it seems to my eye there is some distortion on the left side, and along the bottom: the cars seem oddly shaped, the bus rounding the corner is stretched and the car following it stretched as well. Maybe because they were moving? In any case the distortion is not unsettling... bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "B. D.
