Dear fellow Nikon users, Although I've been pretty much quiet for the past few months I've never missed a single digest in that time. Concerning the debate about the digest form - my vote and my heart is for digest form, as it is. But my main message isn't directly Nikon related so - my appollogies. I belive many of you heard of IRC (Internet relay chat) and since there are a couple of thousand nikon - digest subscribers I belive my task will be accomplished as I would like it to be. With all the respect to the digest and to Andrew D. a thought crossed my mind. There are many times and opportunities that some of use would need an adequate and users -experienced (if not professional) answer the next minute we ask our question. Short but competent answers for 35mm format useres, either they're nikon, canon, leica, pentax or minolta users. Wouldn't that be a thrill? And IRC is the solution, I belive. I'm ready to set photography devoted IRC #room on the undernet.org irc servers network but I need support for that from at least ten users. To cut the long story short - I WILL set up the #room with or without your help. Those of you who are ready to help will probably get op status after a short period of time when #room gets alive. Concerning the name - I will appreciate any of your suggestions and votes (e.g. #photo35mm, #photoworld, #photographers...). I promise to be very democratic channel op open to pros & newbies concerning all their questions & suggestions related to photography. That's about it. Now, what I expect form at least 10 supporters is: 1) to my personal e-mail below send your e-mail adresses from your internet providers but DO NOT SEND ALIASES mail adresses like yahoo, geocities, altavista, hotmail... 2)Those of you who have experience with IRC please send also your nicknames that you most often use I will keep everybody posted (including the nikon - digest) about the progress of building and registering a #room. For those who don't know what IRC is and offers please check their web sites www.mirc.com (and download the mIRC program, about 900k, 10 mins download) and www.undernet.org (to check out the rules and all other specifications). I really appreciate any help from fellow Nikon users and I'm looking forward meeting you on IRC soon! You're all more than wellcome!!! tanx a bunch, ales [EMAIL PROTECTED]
