True - magnify the image, and you see that the jaggies are only across ONE side
of the track, and even the shadow is shifted a bit.  I could do a better job of
"shortening" track in PSP if I really felt the need to.  In fact, if someone
will scan a piece of track at the same angle as the ones shown in 4465 and send
it to me, I'll prove it ;-)
