	I saw one of those little beauties at a Toys "R" Us in L.A.  The
picture was fairly good on the little screen provided, but I wonder how
nasty it would look at home on a 26'' reg size tube.....
	Anyway, I haven't been able to find the camera in the Sacramento 
area, Does any one know who carries(sells) it?  I think I''l buy one for
me I mean THE KIDS.
