Hi! I was recently in Vegas and saw some systems operated at some resorts, I guess it was the Excalibur, I wonder if someone knows anything about these systems, I tried to ask them some questions but they wouldn't tell me a thing. I pulled out a bunch of magazines but did not find any ads and I wonder who is or are the manufacturers of this stuff. Are they made in the US or somewhere overseas? I guess it must be a good business because people were lining up to buy a piece of paper for 25 (twenty five) bucks. I mean 25 bucks for a piece of paper. Still I bought one for heck of it and I really wonder what is the real cost of that picture - it seems standard photo paper and the difference seems that they do everything on the computer. I mean they put my face on the body of Schartzenegger. I must say it looks really cool. Does anybody know how much the equipment costs and how much the real cost of the paper is. It must be an awesome business because operators do nothing and just get the bucks and people are really paying for the stuff. I must admit that was cool. Cheers, Tim Mouraveiko
