I'm often reminded of an old joke about the inventor and why he never made an underwater camera. "They were all LAND cameras." (Yeah, I told you it was an old joke. )

That's a real collectable. It first went on sale in 1947. I've just got one of the newer cheapies. I just read a book about the U-2 affair, and it appears that Edwin Land was connected to the CIA and the U-2 scandal. Thought you might like to know. :-)
