Pretty sure the Internet was only a dream in 1969 when the 67 was introduced. In 1984 when the 645 was released the Internet was a very small network and didn't yet include AOL. Not even the first spam had been mailed by then. But okay, I suppose fanboyism has been around forever. -- -bmw -- 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.
