Seb Why soul destroying? Answering questions and demonstrating should not be soul destroying. I can think of a million jobs that are soul destroying (and I have done a few) but standing behind a counter in a centrally heated building can only be soul destroying if you want to be doing another job - like taking photographs! I saw Martin Woods demonstrating the SLRn very enthusiastically and spent a good 10-15 minutes listening and watching. I went past the stand again half an hour so later and he was doing the same demonstration to some new faces with the same professionalism. I also spent a similar time on the Foto Station stand. And I was given a personal tour of the software with great enthusiasm; we even talked about some of the photographs used to demonstrate the software - there were some shots of aeroplanes that were absolutely stunning and when I pointed to one particular one as outstanding, he said he had it blown up an displayed in his office! And my guide wasn't a lowly employ, who I would expect to be enthusiastic because that's his job. Sorry, don't buy your explanation, good try! <g> Shangara Singh. __________________________________________________ :: Photoshop CS Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips && ACE Exam Aids && Glossary :: http://www.photoshopace.com && http://www.examaids.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
