Well, correct me if I am wrong. I am not a computer buff here, but what has happened is Blake has taken photos and those photos have been scanned into a computer and that is what we are projecting up there, and Miss Montgomery just pointed out on this, I guess the Blasier version of what that is, Mr. Fung--the computer is changing data and we are projecting things up there. I don't mind projecting the photo up there from the elmo, but we are--this thing--this stuff has been sieved through all these filters and those bands have nice ninety-degree angles on them and this is a function of the computer and it is not a function of the data that is there. So to force this witness and now this jury to show things that have been enhanced or fuzzed up by a computer, it is changing the data from which she--she made these readings, so I don't have any objection to the photos. But you look at that--at that last one, I don't know if it is 1176, those things look like nice ninety degree rectangles there and that is not what is on the original data and to--I mean, I guess I was asleep at the wheel when I didn't realize.
Well, then that--all right. That exhibit has come and gone then. We will take it up later.
We are on to another one here and I think that is very deceptive to use something that has been run through a computer to--to I don't want to use the term that comes to mind, but to confront a witness with something that is not what she saw and then have her--force her to pull out a copy. I don't think that is really fair and it is misleading and it is argumentative and it is time--
All right. We will take this up later. We are not dealing with it now so it has come and gone.
I gave these to her at lunch and I also told her anytime she wants to pull out the original, that is fine, no problem, and we will pass the original and the photo to the jury. That is fine with me.
That is neither here nor there. You see, he just said there is a difference. Why have we been sitting here all afternoon?
Judge, better late than never, second time this week, but you have to decide based on what we already know, not on how I screwed up last week.

Counsel, isn't it a little late for you to bring this up?
Lay a foundation.
