These days, what they're trying to do is move as much of the actual purchasing as possible as early in the price curve as they can. They've made them; the hype is to find out if they need to make them again, a little, but mostly to find out how much money they're going to make from selling them. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
