// Zeptobars has been producing fantastic photos of microelectronics
// for several years, see https://zeptobars.com  I recently received
// a Nixplay digital picture frame, and wanted to upload the photos to 
// the frame.
//
// The Nixplay picture frame has an image file size limit of 20MB. Some of
// the "HD" images from Zeptobars are larger than this, so this script finds
// all the photos in the collection over the limit and downsamples them
// to 2K resolution (more than enough for the Nixplay frame).

# Many Amazon packages were lost when they started robbing the mail
# in LA. See https://twitter.com/johnschreiber/status/1481770722271760384
#
# So, I wanted to check to see if stuff we'd sent back to Amazon actually
# arrived for a refund. Amazon typically sends two emails, one for 
# initiating the return, and another for the actual refund.
#
# This plows through all the Amazon email, and collects the return/refund
# messages by order number, and produces a report, so you can quickly check
