Thanks, looks like you nailed this one, it appears to be the same
piece of hardware, if you don't mind I'll post one of the photos on my
site.

Oh sure. I'm pretty sure just posting them to abpw puts them in the public
domain :-) but you have my permission to use either of them as you like.

Nope, it most definitely doesn't put them in the public domain! People
tend to act like it does sometimes, but that's only the "they won't find
out so they won't sue me" sort of public domain.

(Well, sometimes it's more the "they probably don't mind, so they won't
sue me" sort of public domain, as in this case, I suppose.)

Well ... if the photos are your *own* work, and you post them to
an alt.binaries newsgroup with no restrictive notices, that is pretty
much equivalent to putting them in the public domain.

However -- if you *don't* own the rights, that is a different
matter. It is copyright infringement in aid of more copyright
infringement. :-)

Enjoy,
