Point taken. However, there's still a world of difference in trying to
refuel a H2 car and trying out a new image format.

On the one hand, you will probably have to live within shooting
distance of some unique filling station and all the massive impacts
that's going to have on your life for chosing H2. On the format side
of things, all you have to do is download and install a new viewer.
