Ergonomics?........HA! if you're left-handed, then the whole world is non-ergonomic - except for my left-handed pair of scissors, which on occasion I have left lying around for 'righties' to pick up. Always a treat to hear "there is something wrong with these" - quite, us lefties can work with anything. What I would really like to is a digital camera with a zoom eyepiece, going from plus five dioptres to minus five dioptres - please. Anyway, I understand that it easier to get a digi 'in focus' on a larger chip size. Something about bigger circles of confusion giving more latitude of forgiveness. Correct me if I am wrong. <G> William Curwen =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
