Re: No numbers or photos

[Guest guest]

-christine,

What is a starscanner?

Amy - I don't get it either...a camera phone?? I mean, these people are being

paid well, I

don't know why they don't just hire somebody for the job of taking some

pictures, but I

agree, we must take our own pictures I guess. I will ask my ortho next to do

some

measurements, but since we don't have a major helmet maker, I don't know what

they will

say.

Good luck to all of us!
