[LNphoto]

I think he answered that in the begining, somebody pondered the day 
when a gigabit image could be made, so he decided to see if the time 
was right.  sortofa  "because it's there" kinda thing.  Hey that made 
mammoth cameras in the early 19th century...a team of 8 people, 10 
gallons of developer, moved on a railroad car, that type of thing. 
Neither are exactly practical but they make for a great World's Fair.
