Nothing in this world is permanent anymore. :sigh: Marc

There's NO excuse for not commenting your code. -- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh SmithPoliticians and lawyers suck. Sounds permanent to me...

For anyone that saw my post yesterday about our now dead Canon Powershot S1, I have an update. I called their customer service folks this morning and not only will they fix the camera, but they pay for shipping - both ways! I even got to talk to a real live AMERICAN! This is by far the best customer service experience I've had in a long, long time. Canon has won a permanent customer.

(US customers may get US or Canada and that's the same for Canadians. Mexico has it's own CS.) But I'm glad about your great Canon experience. I invested in a Minolta system and now they are pretty much kaput.

I spoke to suppliers all over the U.S. and some states have truly incomprehensible accents, I'd rather deal with someone in Bangalore than South Carolina. :)

Did we finally annex Mexico, then? :~

Last time I looked Canada was a part of North America as well. ;) See you can't win and there is no other easy to say phrase or word that describes a US citizen.
