Thanks, John. The story of my life, not just my old age, might be said to be one of endless interests, even passions, and even talent for some, but not enough persistent commitment to any. Perhaps age is finally making me come to terms with that. Perhaps -- perhaps -- my last decade or two will be the most creative. All this is being brought to a head somewhat by thoughts of finally retiring, themselves motivated by the now inescapable fact that time and opportunity are not limitless.

I've been corresponding with them today about the DS they have for sale. It's pure body only. No manual, software, or cables. They're uncertain whether as purchaser of a used camera I would be able to upgrade the firmware to DS2 level, as has been indicated earlier here can be done. [I don't intend that as a comment on the quality of their service, just as a fact I have to consider and to deal with if I buy the camera.] Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- 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.
