Bruce, yes Ted's computer is a Mac. For that matter, I do my processing on one too, though I usually initially copy files off my cards onto my Linux box, then transfer them to the mac.

See the D700 on the self there.........

The equivalent of the K100 would be the K-x, which might actually be smaller and lighter. However, until I get a job, I'd be much wiser to either clean, or possibly repair, the K100.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to clean it with? Or have an idea what it would cost to repair it?
