Not really related, but my son attended the East Coast Music awards in
Saint John, NB, on the weekend. He said they announced that they had
distributed 700 cameras in the crowd, and as they reached the countdown
for when they would go live on TV, they wanted everyone to start taking
pictures (and clap of course) so the flashes would show in the TV
cameras. This is the first I've heard of this (I don't get out much),
but I had to laugh at the thought of it. So there is more than one use
for disposable cameras. Wayne
