  • Interesting enough photo, but quality is quite frankly pretty terrible. It's clearly been overly and quite badly downsampled as it's full of heavy jpeg artifacting. If you're not sure what I mean, look particularly at shadow and dark areas such as the men's suits and the bottom and sides of the computer and you'll see blocks and grids of pixels rather than smooth gradients. The original would have been nothing like this condition. To be honest I probably wouldn't be that sold on the detail of the machine that the image holds regardless, at least not at this size. (BTW the creator was NASA, Toresbe was simply the uploader.) Thanks for putting it up here, --jjron (talk) 11:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
