Thanks to an IBM.NET system wide failure caused by a despondant registration
system, I hadn't gotten any emails for the last couple days.  I'm pleased to
see that I didn't get totally zapped off the list though.  Anyway, any
responses to this or anything else I've missed.  I'm a little bummed because
I see posts about lens breeding with Viagra and other exciting topics too.

I definitely wouldn't turn one down, that's for sure!  But, what I was
implying is that it isn't a camera that you will know everything about it
and its capabilities in one evening.
