Don't worry Frank, I got your humour.

This message is intended as a *lighthearted* observation:-)

Apart from the fact that humour and English change subtly as they cross the 
Atlantic (I spent 2 years instructing at the F-16 school at MacDill AFB in 
Tampa, I should know), I believe that Denton, as a businessman, was perhaps 
sensitive to an "unjust" suggestion that his prowess was lacking in his 
bread-earning role; whereas, people like me (and you I suspect Frank in the NL 
meterology area) work for a government and our prowess as businessmen is not 
under everyday test.  I am studying an MBA, so hope to improve my mastery of 
commercialism so that I can get a "proper" job outside the Royal Air Force, but 
even so... :-)

Oly content: how much are you newly digital Zuikoids planning to pay for an 
ES-10 scanner - in UK or Europe or HK?  Does it scan negs as well as slides?

And: are Zuikoids who buy Camedias still candidates for the List?  (I can't 
afford one of those as well :-)

The M*n*l*t* Dimage, at £385 plus tax (about $616) looks good value in the UK - 
res up to about 2300 dpi.
