Fine.  Tell that one to Hove and ask where our 
royalties are.  Hove has cheated all of its 
authors, or almost all of us, for the past five 
years.  You folks want to whing about the efforts 
made in a tenth of a second to take a 
picture.  What about the half-year of effort in writing a book?  Get real!

When we get paid, we'll worry about you 1/10" folks.
