Not debatable, maybe deniable by those who insist on denying. Smaller is not an issue. The sensors are much larger than the photons they detect. Noise is not caused by this anyway. That is another issue entirely and good progress has been made on that front too.

I have a class in my curriculum covering digital file formats and how to handle them for best results. Once popular, almost nobody takes it anymore. They prefer to constantly screw up and nobody calls them on it. I should drop it from the lineup, except that I know this knowledge is sorely needed. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
