At the rate digicam technology is improving, you could probably find yourself replacing the camera every two or three months to "keep up". My rule of thumb, before the economy tanked, was to limit these upgrades to once a year. Since finding myself out of work in a lengthy dry spell, I've been holding off on capital purchases like that and making do with what I already own. Once I'm working again, I plan to spend at least the first six months rebuilding my savings before I even think about replacing any equipment. Once I feel ready to spend again, I think my first priority will be a new laptop. I've got my eye on the Fujitsu Lifebook P-2040, it's just a little bit larger than my 4-year-old Sony Picturebook. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 "The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."
