Yeah, thanks. That's great. I was thinking more along the lines of a few pages that someone can read (a primer) to find out some really basic things like megapixels and storage cards, and so on. Literally a 'how things work' guide. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
