Two quick answers:

First, no, a RAW file cannot be seen without computer manipulation of
some sort. But neither can a JPG or TIFF or anything else. No matter
what format it is, it is just a bunch of 0s and 1s. So unless you can
visualize 1101001110001110010000111010101000111100011


Not seen the Matrix recently ? :-)

I don't remember the exact title of the book, but Johnny Mnumatic also
comes to mind -- about a guy transporting (too much) data in his brain.


I know that feeling. One of the joys of working in the embedded
software industry :-(

'Johhny Mnemonic'


Johnny Mnemonic.

It's a short story by William Gibson, and a terrible movie.


Didn't he suffer from data overload if he didn't dump it within a
certain time?

Thanks - I can never remember the title of that film.

If only I could think of some trick that would help me.

I have an assistant for that sort of thing - I just say "that stuff I
can never remember the name of" or "thingy from that thing" and she
uses some weird psychic power to find the words for me. I believe you
can get dolphins that do the same sort of thing but require less
maintenance.
