Thanks Pat! We definitely don't use the phrase "Jonesing" here, but when you explain it it makes sense. We do have the related phrase here "Keeping up with the Joneses".

Steve - I hadn't thought of the Star Trek example, but you're right, it does look like the Orton effect. Since it's such a simple effect to apply I'd imagine it would work well in movies.

Scorious - thanks to you and Rosemary for the nice wishes! I've forwarded them on to Allison.

Bart.
