I know Ed Mathews. You sir, are no Ed Mathews.
Maybe one of you should use a nickname. Since I've met Maryland Ed
Mathews, I would like to propose that he go by the moniker 'The Iron
Ed', since he swings a mean F100 and is a giant of a man.
Well, anyay, he's real tall. Plus, 'Magnesium Ed' is a mouthful.
Speaking of Nikon...the other day I took a tour of our machine room here
at the U of MD. I was surprised to see the design changes that the IBM
390 mainframe has been through. Used to be, they were housed in big blue
boxes (duh). Now they come in a stylish black box with a red stripe. In
other words, they look like a big Nikon:

Maybe there's some sort of weird product convergence here....maybe the
Nikon D390 is right around the corner. It'll only be useful for studio
photography, and you'll need raised flooring, an A/C upgrade, and a
*serious* tripod. OTOH, you get 500GB images and a very manly 250
million frames per second.
Batteries may be a problem.
Pardon me, I was due for a ramble.
