High school reunions. The football star is now pumping gas. The cool guy ain't so cool anymore. The girl you always lusted for in high school and wouldn't give you the time of day ain't so pretty anymore and is married to some loser. I love high school reunions.

Hi Steve-

Great to see you on the other side.

Great to see you. Could you please reverse the spelling again.

Aah, another familiar face.

Look at the bright side. We are all newbie posters. Looking forward to seeing you around.

Try a mai tai.

Gents -

Thanks for the suggestions.

TTK-

Which Minolta? You take fabulous pictures.

Narikaa-

Point taken. Lousy photographer will generate lousy pictures irrespective of camera. In my case, I have not previously owned a digital slr (Nikon point and shoot currently). I have never tried to develop photo skills so it may well be a waste of money. But my thinking is that as long as I am going to go to the trouble to learn all about the features I would just assume start with the system that people have had good experiences with. I have a number of nice reps and would like to be able to take pictures commensurate with my pride and investment.

Finepics-

Thanks for the insight.

Never look back,

Jetmid is ever present.

This is loony. I don't see anything.

Well, at least he is not Mugda.

Hey, you guys are playing with us "have-nots." They look fantastic though. Did they actually come with interchangeable bezels or did you acquire them elsewhere?

I did speak with him about it. He is absolutely open-minded and was very pleased to hear admin is the moderator and who some of the mods are. At least for now, he is very busy with other good things in his life and we wish him nothing but the best.

Or perhaps in Johnny Mnemonic with the Dolphin controlling the rebel transmission system.

That term belongs in the fabulously classic B movie - Hackers - Hack the Planet!

Time to buy new digital SLR. D-70 versus equivalent Canon ???. Which one will be easier for me to get good watch pictures from? I am even getting inspired to try and build a light box.

Could be time to start posting smilies. And thus it begins.

Postissimus Maximus I am still the only one on any forum (other than the master himself) to meet Jetmid's father. And you think I am kidding.

Let's see - at 25 per day - 4 days per 100 - 40 days per 1,000-80 days to Powermax. Not fast enough.

How about - we want to get laid.

Expensive watch = money to burn = you should sleep with me. How many people can tell the difference between a $1,000 or $3,000 suit? Fancy watch - never missed. Just remember every part of a man's being relates to getting laid. Or if you can't because you are happily married, having that woman in the bar look longingly at you does wonders for the ego. Just remember - Little Ethan always comes first. Not very philosophical but it all goes back to the caveman. Oh, and we do love watches and their little intricacies too.

Just kidding (somewhat).

Get outta here!

I wouldn't mind the post count either. Love the avatar - nice side view of the Sub.

Nice glow.

Great collection. But you are missing one or two of your best ones.

Beautiful collection.

Hey, we missed St Paddys
