Okay, I know we're all having fun at this point, which is all fine and good. Let's face it, we all need and love technology. However, there are times that technology "gets in the way" or at best is needless (and therefore a waste of money or costs us complexity and reliability). We all know that many features are there only for marketing purposes, not because it helps us take or make better photos. Technology is supposed to be ~our~ servant, but in some cases the tail wags the dog and we end up being technology's servant. Sometimes simpler really is better. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
