Rumor has it that Jeff Hellige may have mentioned these words:

I've always loved my Canon T50, which I will admit has been a *fantastic*
camera, along with my T70, which I sold to my father to give to his
girlfriend for Xmas '00 - which I no longer needed after I got the T50
repaired [wifey put her finger thru the shutter :-( ]) I got it over 10
years ago, when I graduated Army boot camp.
but...
My new digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 5000, is definitely the way to go.
It's frelling cool! 2560x1920 pictures, that look really awesome, and more
gadgets & gizmos & menus than you can shake a stick at.
The damn thing has Picture in Picture!
Definitely cooler than my Epson photo 3000z, which [ahem] my wife broke...
Oh, and I learned that my camera is *linux* compatible! The SCSI emulation
drivers will emulate a scsi drive over USB as well as over IDE - all I have
to do is plug in the USB cable & mount /dev/sda1 ! That is *so* cool...
So when I have a little time after I move, I'll be taking pictures of my
classic machines for archiving...

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an *older* .sig.
(circa 1997!) Why does Hershey's put nutritional information on
their candy bar wrappers when there's no nutritional value within?
