On the plus side, AP is pro- Canon and I make the right noises there. Pentax does get a good mention though ;-) I've penned 2000 words. The last couple of 'a reader writes' articles have been about 1000 to 1500 so there's plenty to chop if they want. Or they can keep it long and add more zeros to the check ;-)))) I'm expecting a rejection Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
