    True, I was just thinking of switching to landscape mode and diving under the covers.

      We would never Alaska you to do that, that's not a landscape we want to see.

      (Sorry, bear puns...) I could wear my spectacles to keep the sun out of my eyes. I wouldn't want to panda to your honey tastes. It would polarise the group and would become quite grizzly.

                                      Everyone wants something to blame, from windows, to car make, to electronics.... and sometimes they are correct, but it is usually harder to tell than one account. My wife has her Nikon she bought before knowing me, I've owned two olympus cameras and given each away, My Nikon D70 has a line dead on the sensor, but then it has survived the heat of the southwest, combined with falls in Carlsbad Caverns, and a dip in the swamps of Louisiana. My new Nikon I did get the extended warranty for that reason. My fault, their fault, the gator that's eying me for a morsel's fault... I or my heirs can get it fixed. I know, extended warranties are a waste... until they are needed. It's a gamble. But then either choice is a gamble, everyone wins some, and everyone looses some.... :-D (I wonder how I can get this traded up for a D90 now... hmmmm)

                                        Ouch! The pun is simultaneously the epitome, and the nadir of humour... the ultimate paradox.

                                          You just coughed up near $6,000 on a camera? I'm impressed (and a wee bit jealous) :)
