Semi-OT: "Upgrading" Thunderbird

I finally got tired of it nagging me to update to v52 and "upgraded". Didn't have any trouble with the reply/reply to list problem because I was ready for it and customized my toolbar right away. But I didn't expect it to turn line-wrap back on, and they obfuscate how to fix that. Think I've go

The SDM motor is failing on my 4-month old DA 17-70 lens. One would think that in NINE years of production Pentax would have corrected the well-known SDM motor problem. Oy. Rick P.S. How long is Precision taking to fix things these days? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://p
