Well for every person that we could hand a print to a thousand sees it if
it's up somewhere on the internet as a jpeg. Also people see jpegs on their
hand held electronic devices which they love more than god.
And in those picture frame things which sell like hotcakes.
And... And....they email them to all their pals.

And they can load them into their clock radio's where its projected on the
ceiling during the alarm in the morning. I may have made that up.
