Ummm, that's not so unusual, but it does depend on how good looking your neighbour is, hey

A few years ago I had a couple of high end 3rd Gen Night Vision devices that I had to take home from work overnight. I took them around to my brothers place to show him and the first thing he wanted to do was look over the fence to see if his neighbour was having a swim, as, apparently she was well known for her nudity....some people No, he didn't actually look there, but he was amazed by how good these devices are and what you could see in total darkness. Most people just don't get to see stuff like this. Those were the days; when I got to play around with some really cool stuff.

From my experience a lot of people are Luddites when it comes to technology and they have a tendency to ask stupid question, but hey, they don't know any different, so don't be too hard on them. I always to my best to educate them, as their questions are usually genuine.

Cheers Peter
