AAAHHWOOOGHAA! AAAHHWOOOGHAA! DING DING DING DING DING!  DIVE! DIVE!

Whoa -- belay that dive order!  That's the SVDS -- the Special Volunteer
Detection System alarm.  It's a little like a perimeter warning system, but
tuned up for pilgrims wandering in, instead of enemy incursion.

So,  howya doin' Randy, heh heh..  You noticed about the photos.  Well, the
plain ones are no problem, and not really critical.  More important are the
ones with parts ID pointers.  They take a bit more time.  First, you need a
good specimen -- a photogenic module that's not shy (shadowy) and not too
starry-eyed.  (Bright aluminum reflects and makes it a bit tricky.)  Then,
when you have a shot where you can make out most of the components, it needs
to get the annotations added with a graphics program.  Pete Wokoun did this
with the photos that were supplied to him (or he had) for the first version.

You also have to experiment with the resolution that works without
overkill -- excessive file size

Soooo... got a camera?  Some modules?  (Was on the to-do list, but didn't
make it into Rev 2.)

Or did you want to sign up for a tour of duty with the non-A task force
that's forming up?

Barry
