They make a good background for my desktop though. It also raises the question
of how the "screen shots", "Fakes" were produced. As has been stated in this
thread they are from the GT intro off the PS CD. What was used to capture them
and what was the reasonable expected sample resolution that they could be
captured from a PS video feed? Maybe, just maybe, they are from the the intro
to a PC port of GT. huh? huh? wadda ya?

No, because he'd already included 90% of the URL so why not go the whole
way?

Bruce's getting a bit old...way too much v-e-g-e-m-i-t-e in his
diet, I suppose.  ;)

Cheers!
