 How do, Jean?

 JP> Yes, I knew this but why the BWAVE screen is not the

Now imagine you are flying a remote controlled helicopter, with a camera
mounted off the skids. 

Actually, you *can* use Marks example, (Pretty crafty Mark!) but just place
a round object on a table, and look directly down at it. It appears round.
Change your position to anything *but* head on, and you see an oval. If the
font is 8x12 or 12x8, it is 3:4, or 4:3 respectively. It's as if you are
looking at a saucer or CD at a for-aft bias, or starboard-port bias.
