Since I already have 4 or 5 sets of NiMh for the Igital*Dist, and at least 4 chargers, I see no reason to purchase the grip for it. Bill

> Unusual amount of common sense and lots of > fun to be around. And Jerome, don't let this go to > your shiny head :-) Don't worry, Bill. I'm not trying to make my head any bigger (literally, or otherwise) than it already is. If nothing else, I've realized that I've gotta use more of those little smiley faces like you when I write... but I hate those damn smiley faces! (insert smiley face). I also can't take for granted that, though I've met a few folks, not everyone knows me off list. You, and a few others knew exactly where that was headed... but for others I can't assume so much. Thus, I stay humbled. But speaking of pentax gear (HAR), the grip that I mentioned in the previous email to you just came in the mail about 20 minutes ago. I feel like I need it because, call me snobby but, I've become quite dependent on that vertical shutter button. But as for the ergonomics of it... not so impressive. For one, I really do NOT like the "plasticky" feel of it. Feels kinda cheap (I hate to badmouth Pentax, but it's the truth). But then, that's just me. I doesn't come anywhere close to doing for me what the MZ-S grip does for me when attached. Now THAT is a thing of beauty. Unlike, the BG-10, I can see myself taking this one off and on during use, depending on the circumstances. But then, I should also add that I haven't really USED it yet; I've just held it. So keep that in mind as well. What are others thinking of this grip so far?

Not to worry, Jerome is no where near the nerd type PhD. Unusual amount of common sense and lots of fun to be around.

Re: dumber and dumberer
I was wondering when someone will reply to that original post "politely". I knew there was something about that post when I got to the part about the "rule of thirds" thing but didn't want to start anything by saying something hence I just waited. Good one! Francis M.

Jerome, actually the rules of thirds part made me chuckle somewhat. Then I saw the auctions and the e-mail address you give in the descriptions. Then I realized you forgot to put some smileys or letters in angle brackets, or else. And then William let his tongue slip, well, way slip, well, may I say fall out... Anyway, shake hands and behave, will you? Boris -- __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree

Quoting Bill Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Is this your new email address? No. Just the one I use for PDML when I subscribe every now and then. Helps keep things organized. > How do you like your Igital*Dist? I love it. But you guys knew that already from way back in August when we were in NC playing with the pre-production model. I haven't said anything about it cuz I haven't really used it much it (up to image 250 or so). And besides, you guys have already talked about it a ton and I don't have anything new to add. I've been browsing the post every now and then, however. Everyone seems happy. Which is cool. In general however, I'll say that this is my first digi-anything. And ditigal is awesome. Little Kid. Candy Store. You know the rest. I've kept the MZ-S for film purposes... but it's looking grim already. Once I finish all to film I have in the house (may take a while)... I'm not really feeling inclined to order more. But we'll see how it goes. Things change. Newness wears off. Etc. Catcha later, Bill. - jerome

Re: dumber and dumberer
>Just jokes. >ANyhow, back to your scheduled broadcasting. >- jerome I found it funny. And I started wishing for a camera that knew the rule of thirds (although I am not sure I believe in that anyway. Hmm, maybe if I could argue with it -- okay camera, but not in THIS situation!). However, I don't find this follow up post very funny. Whatever. Marnie ;-)
