Oh, good grief, Bill. You lose your sense of humor somewhere? You don see his 
400/2.8 on that ebay list do you?

Hey PDML. Here to announce some goodies on eBay.

The short of it is that I have a handful of Pentax gear available:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewSellersOtherItems&include=0&userid=mawhouse&sort=3&rows=25&since=-1&rd=1

If that link doesn't work, then try an advanced search for auctions by
seller "Mawhouse".
As for more details of why I'm selling...

After traveling all across the country I realized that Pentax is not the
way.

I should've known better when everywhere I looked, no matter where I was,
and

never saw another Pentax. I was the only one around using Pentax, and once
I

got back I was able to see that my photos were horrible! I was so
disgusted.

And of course I have no doubt that it was the camera (it sure as hell
wasn't

me!). Pentax stinks. It doesn't take outstanding photos. The compositions
were

all wrong. The lighting, too. The camera doesn't even follow the rule of
thirds! So I'm dumping all of my equipment, and making the big switch.
Can't

quite afford to go digital though.

So I'm going disposable.

Yep, I'm dumping everything and switching to Kodak. Disposable cameras are
the

wave of the future. heck, it's the # 1 selling camera in the world. it has
to

be that for a reason, right? The optics must be incredible. And the
packaging

is downright sexy... not to mention that the directions are printed right
there on the back! (genius!)  Which means no more stupid mailing lists for
tough technical questions. Man, I'm gonna love this.
The future is here. And it's not just bright. It's overexposed!

Wish me luck.
   - jerome
PS... thanks for looking. For those that plan to bid, good luck to you,
too!

Yeah probably. Interesting how some replies to threads like this show you
who's got no sense of humour (or on a more lenient note, who's had a really
long day and is too tired to read between the lines). Anyway, Bob (Walkden)
if you're on this thread, remember that stuff about AI and The Turing Test?
I don't suppose there is sarcasm-recognition software is there?

Argumentative and irrational.
Sounds like a troll to me.

Besides, pictures are composed of gray matter.
Horrible pictures == lack of gray matter.
