My digital camera died recently. (Well, it was killed. I gave it a bath in salt water when I miss-judged a wave at the ocean.) I went to the local brick and mortar camera store to get a replacement. After I told the guy what I was interested in, he brought out several possibilities. He dropped one of them on the floor from normal hand/chest height. It was still working after he picked it up. I forget the brand, but somebody was willing to put their reputation on the line. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
