[edit] Collimator
Hi. I edited this page because, quite frankly, what you wrote didn't make much sense. I think the article as I edited it accurately describes a collimator, in English, as the generic device used in X-ray and gamma-ray imaging because lenses, as used to form optical images, do not (yet) exist at these short wavelengths.
I had not heard the term "bucky" before, and after a little reading it appears to refer to a specific medical imaging device used in combination with a collimator -- it does not appear to be the collimator itself. I reverted your edit.
Perhaps there should be a disambiguation page to distinguish between the kind of collimator used in X-ray and gamma imaging, and the "collimator lens" used at optical wavelengths to form a parallel beam of light. Until then I moved the optical references to the bottom of the page.

[edit] Freeway
Hi... I see you added a picture of the band Freeway. Would it be possible for you to add more details about the picture? For instance, when about was it taken, and what are the full names of the people present? Given that the band is mentioned in the main article as soon to celebrate it's 40th anniversary, it would be useful to know what lineup the photo is of. Tabercil 00:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
