Seriously, you push this little button on the camera and take a photo, then you put your memory card into that slot and make the pic on the computer. You don't need to know any history of video or scanners or barcodes... Am I missing something? Cause I know squat about bar codes or video. I know a bit about scanners cause I used to scan film, but it sure hasn't helped my digital photography, in fact I now consider it an era of wasted effort ;-) -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://naturephoto.easternbeaver.com/
