Good idea, Gary.

However, as others have noticed, something happened to the 4T tally. It
was 8 this AM, 1 after noon.  It is 2 now.  I e-mailed the 'booth owner'
to find out what happened.  If no satisfactory answer is forthcoming,
then this voting booth is useless cause you can't trust the numbers.

One thought occurs to me, perhaps if you add a camera using the add item
at the bottom and the same name is in the list already, perhaps the S/W
screws up and overwrites the old one?  Did anyone add Olympus OM4T
today? Hey, I think I'll test my theory by adding Nikon F5. Here I go
... argghhh!  It said 'This item already in list, so a vote was added.
'  No No NO!  However, when I reloaded the site, the number was the same
as this AM, 83.  

My vote? This site is screwed.

George
