We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember hummingbird <hummingbird(a)1.0.0.127>
saying something like:

Sure. It's out next century and called 'Faceabout'. Just hang on and
it'll be with you sooner than you expect, because any picture that's
taken with conventional cameras can be scanned with 'Faceabout' and a
timeline is opened that will reach back to the instant of exposure to
poke the subject on the shoulder and a sub-vocal command will
mysteriously compel them to turn around to face the camera.
As you will appreciate, the picture you're holding right now with the
backs of the subjects heads to you will instantly transform to a
photographic record with full facial features provided, and this is the
tricky bit, provided someone in the future uses 'Faceabout' to scan your
pics. You can always leave a note in the tin box or DVD with your pics
on. A sort of time capsule.

But freeware will only work with freeware cameras, and you
ain't got one.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I've just seen the back legs of a dog run across the room.

Odd, it had a tag tied to its scrotum with "astraweb" written on it.

They have their back to you for a reason.
