I noticed this graphic on the Google Chrome "New Tab" page. It was commemorating Mary Pickford's 125th birthday. I don't really relate to Mary Pickford...but I sure can relate to cats and projectors.

Some of the Google stuff is very good [Cool]

I still have this old photo on my computer of Mary Pickford

PS. Notice how the fingers are in the same position in both photos.

I noticed that too on Google this morning. I just figured "Big Brother" knows I'm into film [Big Grin]

I also saw it this morning and snapped a picture.

I should correct my thread title...it's not a projector in the graphic...rather a camera, and after some research discovered it's Mary Pickford's famous Bell and Howell 2709. Doing a YouTube search I found this mini biography of Mary Pickford that shows the actual 2709 camera she used to make her movies. It's 100 years old and still works to this day. Happy Birthday Mary!
