Am I perhaps one of the few remaining people who look at jpeg's by doing
ASCII and octal dumps of the files? :-). A Caplio RR120. JPG captures on digital cameras
typically put some text
as a comment at the front of the jpeg file, containing hardware, time,
date, sometimes the shutter/aperture/flash settings, etc.
Neat, I did an ASCII dump on the jpg and see that info now. I am very proud of continuing to occasionally browse
websites by
telnetting to port 80.
Can't say I've ever tried that one, either...
