I'm with you. The hype has been non-stop for at least three days now.... My favorite moment of tonight's broadcast came when they showed footage of empty New York streets, and the newscasters were overcome with surprise -- Imagine, Saturday night in NYC & no one is out?! Well, you've been telling people for days to run for the hills.... what did you expect? I certainly wouldn't want to make light of the potential danger, but the breathless, continuous & gleeful coverage of not much is getting old. -c (sleepless, cranky & still waiting in Boston...) ;) -- 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.
