Another Day, Another Wedding

Let me add that I just took a squint at what has been recently approved and was surprised at the acceptance of a number. New people or policy..? More than likely, they simply didn't suit my eye at the time I voted. Jack --- On Sat, 6/7/08, Ken Waller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Ken

Yeah, the innovative digital teleconverter button. Somehow, however, the invalid operation alert should automatically appear in the view finder whenever the lens is pointed at a cat. Jack --- On Sat, 6/7/08, P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED]
