NOT nearly so exciting. But, as Rob Studdart will attest, my roof has a wonderful view of the fireworks here. YOu guys will hurl abuse at me for this, I know, but on eof my friends who had come over to watch with me had a Canon (G-1?) digital and I ended up confiscating it to shoot - I must have spat out about 50 shots and jsut barely started to get the hang of anticipating because of shutter lag in the last few minutes of the show. I didnt look at the screen at all, closed it and shot as I would with a film camera. He had what I would have called a smart card but he called it something else and didnt know the term "smart Card" - it was holding all his pics from a recent trip to New Mexico. The files are 1 mg... I'm guessing these are not very good for enlarging. Don't know when I'll get to see what I did as he forgot the cables needed for me to upload them here. The sad thing is, and this is really sad -- I was bidding on a MZ-5 on ebay - was planning to leap in at the last minute - and forgot the time when I was reviewing the digital snaps I took. anyway - glad you survived, Tom -- Now you need to get on a nice healthy regimen so that you CAN run out of the rain without worry :) Mom er I mean annsan
