You guys with the photo editing packages have way too much time on your hands. <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2002/20020724-malcolm.gif" /><br /><br />No purchase required, so sign up, get the grand prize and take the $500 spending allowance and buy a Pocket PC!

Wait wait wait wait wait....

If you buy a Palm 125, for $199 you then get a "nice" $20 rebate? That only puts it at $179! The NEW Sony SL10 is only $149. Is it just me or does this seem like another story of "old and busted" vs. "new hotness"...and the new device is cheaper.

I'd be happy to create a parody forum if there was enough content to fill it... :wink:

Or this - except this happened. If it happens, it isn't a parody is it?

Well, here are two sites dedicated to photo manipulation and graphic spoofs: Worth1000.com - Photoshop Contests (http://www.worth1000.com/) B3TA (http://www.b3ta.com/)
Some of these images -- especially in the Worth1000 "Invisible World" category -- are simply mind-blowing. The things people can do with Photoshop are just amazing. I've gotten pretty good at this kind of thing, teaching myself how to remove small items from photos, retouch, "fix" old photographs, etc. -- some of these folks make me feel as though I'm using Microsoft Paint. They're just incredibly talented and it's quite humbling, I assure you. :)
