Coming soon! The first major upgrade of system software and hardware in
thousands of years!

Some of the many new features:

* Men now never leave toilet seats up
* Women do not clutter bathroom by hanging up frillies to dry
* Men stop and ask for directions
* Women always ready on time!

Much more.

Reasonably priced (this version not open source like 1.0 was). Watch for
introductory offer.

Well, I hope they come with different finish options... that one looks like
it'll be hard to keep clean!

off topic perhaps, but did any of you watch the "face to face" program with
john cleese?

in one episode, some guy had developed a mask defining a "pretty face" by
dividing the face into pentagons or something. would be interesting to know
if anybody here has coded a human head, based on that mask

anyways interesting features, author

No, but I did watch something similar on the BBC.

There's an article about the mask here.

<http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/humanface/articles/mask.html>

Unfortunately the "get the mask" link tries to take you to the original
program information which used to be here, but the Beeb don't keep info
about old programmes around for very long.

<http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/humanface/images/marquardt_mask_
copyright.gif>

The BBC have a rather odd way of dealing with "not found" errors - they
take you to a different page without mentioning that the page was not
found. This can be quite confusing when you've come to the page through
a stealth link like that on the TLC page.

More info from the guys who developed the mask can be found here
