I went sailing Thursday and I'm going again today....just thought you'd want to
know! Also, tomorrow I'll be in a race with 4 other J-24s in Little Neck bay.

I don't believe you. Where are the pictures?

BTW, I'm planning on a new camera - I think I can get a G5 for about $530 - is that still a good
deal?

That's a good price. I have a G3, which is last year's version with 4 Mega
Pixel and it's been a good camera. If you don't plan to seriously use the
manual settings a lot, I'd suggest a smaller unit. It's been overkill for use
on the boat.
My only gripe about the G series is that they are large and heavy. I often take
my tiny Sony camera instead, especially on the boat. Olympus also makes a very
nice weatherproof camera that looks worth getting.

Weatherproof = spit on it? I doubt it would do well if
actually sprayed with salt water.

Ha Ha! I buy disposable cameras for about six bucks each.

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money
on women, porn, booze, and recreation. The rest of it I just waste.

Does that include processing and scanning onto CD?

Processing is another six bucks, and I do the scanning for free.

What's the difference? All you do is post them to a text only newsgroup.
