Sure. Let me get a modest little cybernetic interface to one of those temporal vision thingummabobs they have these days and I'll call you right back.

Sorry if that was a bit harsh, but I've had far too much 'advice' to 'just do this easy little thing'... Computers are supposed to supplement the brain, to help, not require more (and in some cases quite impossible) work. To file anything so you can find it again requires experience in filing that particular information type. I'm constantly dealing with new data...
