Good choice, John. You'll learn more here than you can possibly
remember, and you'll make a lot of new friends and have a lot of good
times while you're doing it.

See? See? Where does the newfangled digital revolution take us? Soon,
new members even won't know what the BROTHERHOOD was, and the MIGHTY
LX WINK will be only done secretly in the dead of the night...

P.S.:
:-) Ethical Web, welcome, but is there a more normal name to call you
with?
Thanks........I'm John (that's pretty normal, I think...) and I've
amended my Email to reflect my invitation to the party..
Actually, I'm The Future......one of the hordes of completely
unskilled Auks who are now rampaging through Middle Earth waving their
fully automated
computer-cams-with-built-in-coffee-maker-and-FM-stereo-radio.....
A prime target, in fact, for the camera manufacturers who want to
relieve us of as much disposable cash as they can - and who are
beavering away making cameras that are simple enough for even the
dimmest Auk to use
I've noticed that Pentax are following the trend, and their three
dslr's seem to have been a progression in simplicity - one feels that
the logical result of all this will be a wheeled camera that can be
sent out on its own to find and take whatever photo's it deems
suitable.. with no need for its owner to leave the comfort of his/her
chair...
So, (adopts humble posture) I've decided that I do want to learn how
to use my *stD 'properly' - while there is still a camera available
that actually allows users to interfere with the delicate controls.
