I don't see having choices as an annoyance. I think it's great that Windows can easily be customized to suit my needs. Shel - Right. I just almost never like Windows' default settings, which are set up for people who don't know which planet computers come from. So I have to go through

Ideas for Pentax

Greetings all. My wife and I photograph weddings. We use a bunch of Pentax and Minolta film cameras, plus one original digi-Rebel, and we've just now added a *ist DS, hoping to consolidate into one system. First idea for Pentax: Allow us to select which four things are adjusted with the
