Title: Stanford Website to convert bitmaps to vector graphics.

Forgive me if I missed seeing this posted here but I saw this website and tried it out.  Kind of neat:

http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/

This wouldn't work in Firefox for me, only in Safari!

This is a link to what I tried it with:

You can also save them as EPS and SVG files back on your local drive!  Neat I think!

Shoot! It tells me that I need OSX. But, knowing your work, I'm sure it's impressive.

Gregg, if you have the plugin to view SVG files you should be able to view this image which is a vector graphic made on the Stanford web site.

Apparently I don't. I'll have to try at work. Not sure if I'll get to tomorrow. My company relocated over the weekend. We'll be unpacking all day.
