See for yourself what happened (notice how Greg P’s laptop is running Windows???):

According to Schwartz, there’s another project in the works.

Sneak peek here. Select Chapter 3. According to Schwartz, its behind the big, black drape. I’m still waiting for the video to load – WiFi problems.

After this test I can see geologists the world over adding this to their wishlists.
