Damn.
So much for that camera.
You think camera repair people should work for wal-mart wages?

They are just part changers.....

Yeah, right. And they probably couldn't put together an 8' wood dinghy.

Please. I know what is involved in building small boats, and I have seen
skilled camerarepairpersons do their thing. There's no comparison in the
level of skills needed. The inside of a camera is still like the inside
of a fine watch, with the addition of electronic circuitry.

No - I don't expect that.

I do expect a reasonable rate to replace the viewfinder glass and
upload the latest software.

It seems to me that 2/3s of the cost of the camera new (as of 2 1/2
years ago) is a bit excessive.

I sent you an email personally with the link (the service emailed me a copy
of the link). Let me know how it goes.

Nope, didn't work. The link I got was:

http://www.ringo.com/i.html?i=167473...rigin=in vite


and the user no longer exists. I think it is looking for user Lantaga.

Wow, that's odd. I sent you a copy via personal email of the link they sent
me in a confirmation email. Let me know how that goes.

I clicked that link, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is
completely unrelated to the file I uploaded on your behalf. Ringo.com is an
entirely different company with no relationship that I know of to
YouSendIt.com. I think perhaps you looked at the wrong email in your inbox?
Look for an email from Russ Glindmeier via YouSendIt. That's the sender's
name in the confirmation email I got. It could be that your spam catcher
might have nailed the email from YouSendIt.
