Now where do you get paper that is white on one side and colored on the other. I have never seen that in the U.S. I am going to modify the pattern into a cat version. Mel Pretty neat origami.

We may have the real thing - a young Welsh springer spaniel called Moss (!) lies at my feet right now - but a more portable and obedient version has a lot of appeal! As for the CF card: isn't there a bit of confusion over magnifications you're giving? The x5 on the sensor is linear magnification, which is surely the normal way of indicating it, i.e. 1mm in the real world covers 5mm on the sensor. But the x45,200 is areal magnification, isn't it, i.e. the square of the linear, so on your monitor, the "true" magnification is about x213.
