I once offered a long-ago colleague what I thought was a challenging opportunity. He commented that "there is a very fine line between a Challenge and a Pain in the ass. He felt that my offer had crossed the line in the wrong direction. It seems you feel that way about upgrades! In the same vein, I used to have a boss who would pop into my office with a cheery "Hello! I have a great opportunity for you to excel!" stan -- 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.
