Simple fantastic. After watching some Divx video at full speed (thanks GATOS for the awesome video driver!), some hints about photographs of space related stuff (lunar modules, shuttles, etc). Let me explain: a V-2 or a F-1 engine are, ahm, wonderful, you can't see that everyday. But maybe your girlfriend may not agree with you, mainly when you are taking photos from those and not from her. Well, some good hints:

'maneuver her next to the object you want to photograph- in this way she is flattered, and you have a useful size comparison in the photo to give it scale....but don't be too obvious about doing this...personal experience shows that "Now stand in front of the V-2...hurry...hurry, the museum will be closing'

"OK, Broad, now over there!"

Ah, newsgroups (USENET) are just fantastic!
