FYI-Your Comment(s) invited by US Consumer Affairs on Application Of New Technology re Video

BayCHI et al folks may be interested in commenting on this so.. am  
passing it along here. DO NOT SEND YOUR COMMENTS TO ME. I am not the  
"Consumer Affairs Bureau"; follow the directions provided if you wish  
to comment. I am simply passing this along to the HCI community as I  
know that at a number of you are interested in such stuff or are  
working on projects which are related.

..and for those who are wondering, I am still waiting for release of  
the notes from last year's ADA conference.

Cheers,
LjR
