tech.

Sure do. A new camera will also make you grow hair, make your lawn
lusher and greener, plus improve your love life.

So What is up with the New Pentax K-R? No one seems to have them in stock.
Re-Lurking.
I think it's like the trailers for the new Harry Potter movie. Won't
actually be available until later this year.
It'll be here in time for Christmas ..

The movie has great special effects, making it a "must-see," but the
plot is woefully deficient, and the movie is far, far too long.
