It's funny, George, but it's precisely the opposite quality that I find
captivating about digital - the fact that the scene I saw as light hit my
eye and was translated into electrical and chemical impulses in my brain,
which translated those impulses into a picture, is captured by an electronic
system, stored as 1s and 0s! and then turned back into the image I saw. I'm
sure I wouldn't find this magical if I was a computer guy, but... ;-)
