That works well for me...especially there is no way I can afford the product
now. :)
As I read more, it sounds as if the additional focusing areas would be cool
if the autofocus mechanism was faster/more accurate. I would spring for the
$$$ eventually for that.
Thanks for the info -

The archive service handles over 5000 lists, and sometimes things run a little slowly.
Add that it's an entirely volunteer effort, and I'd say a four day lag is forgivable.
