Happier, now?

 

 

 

 

The whole thing is in italics now, Ellis. Still funny. I was happy reading the first post itself.

 

Did not complain. :)

Well, its sort of interesting, except for the J.D.Powers part. There are probably people who think that kind of award has any merit. Let's see...Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Casio, I wonder if there were any more winners? The only real worthwhile data, if any of it can be called that, is that [1] the number of digital camera buyers is apparently rising at an exponential rate and [2] Nikon paid an exorbitant price to quote the "study".

I think it is more exciting when read in italics!

Turn off 'smart quotes' or 'curley quotes' in word processor and you won't have this

problem. Or use TextEdit and format > 'make plain text'.

Probably that's why <a href="http://www.photoreporter.com/article.asp?issueID=&num=14&vol=15&articleType=fc&articleID=1650">Nikon takes the lead in DSLR sales</a>. Btw D3 and D300 are not on the shelves yet.

I'm just going to re-write that title so it's not all in caps.

Interesting, Sony coming in second? The DSLR war is on and this is great news for all of us.
