So it's a site run by a bunch of retired newsmen to allow free expression of
their opions. Seems they should be at least as much in the know as a buch
of computer bound sailors.

You missed the best part, from the FAQ for your site.

"Don't you take anything seriously?
Nah, we leave that to the politicians (and some of our readers). They take
everything, including themselves, far too seriously. "

Didn't we just go thru this with jps? He got all steamed when he found out
the
site was another "Lampoon". Where were ya?

I have no problem with opinions, and agree with you. Making up a story like this
was cute. The problem is that jps, b'asskisser, and Krause actually believe the
story is true, and post it in the hopes the rest of the world will too.

That's the funny part!

Naw. I don't think Bush is smart enough to be becoming unbalanced. I
simply believe he suffered significant brain damage during his years of
boozing and snorting.

Bush does, however, have strange religious beliefs about the end of the
world. He truly is hopeful of Armageddon in his lifetime, and apparently
is doing whatever he can to hasten it.

Since you asked nicely:

I absolutely love my D70. On only one occasion I picked up a little moire when
photographing the house (aluminum siding) in bright sunshine.

The 'kit' lens is an 18-70mm, and is very sharp. The reviews are great. I also
purchased the 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor (go to:
http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php...ductNr=2139NAS )

I use two 512 MB Lexar Media cards and the 'Jumpshot' usb downloading device.
Never had a problem.

Even being prior military, I was able to take the camera out of the box, use the
'quick' directions and take some pictures of pets, etc, that I thought were
fantastic. I've made 8x10 blowups of cropped images that are spectacular in
their clarity and sharpness. I use the Canon i960 printer for photos and get
great results.

Now, where are the croaker biting?

Yikes...that's a big chunka glass there...and heavy. I have the slower
Nikkor 70-200 zoom and can barely handhold it at 200 mm. I'm hoping to
see a fixed focal length 70 mm f2, for my portrait stuff.

The vibration reduction feature built into the lens makes it very possible to
take shots without a tripod. I can see the lens moving, but the pictures have
been great.

I've been using Epson photo paper from Costco. Have had great luck with it, but
haven't compared it to the Canon paper. I use the 'Photo Paper Pro' setting on
the printer.
