Hold on, this is kind of a cool thing if it is what I think it is.
A couple years ago, Iterated Systems was touting a 'fractal compression
scheme' boasting high lossless compression rates. It looked very
intriguing---one of the things they were showing off was an 8x zoom on a
standard .GIF image (showing all the fatbits) and the same zoom on a
fractal encoded image which appeared like a photographic zoom.
I wonder if this was a hardware boost for this system?
That being said, if you still don't want it, I'd be happy to take it off
your hands for the advertised $10 price.
