Hi Tanya, Don't know if you'd appreciate any more posts on this (very painful, I'm sure) subject but here's my two cents: About four years' ago, I was a struggling architect (still am but the struggle gets a little easier now :-) and I'd managed to save up enough to buy a (new) Olympus OM4Ti.

I sympathise Tanya it must hurt - but look on the bright side - the two irreplaceable babies are safe. One day you will replace the third. How's your insurance? Peter - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Sorry you lost your PZ-1p, Tanya, but at least you kept your boys safe. It's very easy to fall into mourning over days like that, and a certain amount of that is healthy, but I think it's much more important to take something positive away from it. Use it as a learning opportunity. I've said
