This is a fine way to do it, but I think everyone misses the point of just what some obnoxious twit COULD do, assuming one is able to patch camera firmware from the PC: Why "infect," why not just scramble and render useless? That would put a serious kink in the onslaught of digital camera sales, because once one version of this is released, a thousand others will come right along after it. -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin
