The chimp is going to be a lot more violent, though. Knew of a place that tested -- after many complaints about fragility -- phone handsets by giving them to toddlers as toys. One of the returned units worked fine, but smelled funny for no obvious reason. Eventual disassembly in a spirit of trepidation showed that it had been disassembled, packed solid with peanut butter, and reassembled by one of the toddlers. -- Graydon -- 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.
