  1. I have been waiting to get a DSLR forever. I wanted a 10D. But they were brand new, and the price was sure to come down after other people bought them. Then, it was almost time for the Canon rebates. But by rebate time, everyone was talking about the 20D. Then the 20D came out, but its price was sure to fall after it had been out a while. Then the rebates came, and I thought about it, but there was a 5D coming out. The 5d Was way out of price range, so then I decided to get a 20D. Then I started hearing rumors about a 30D. Then the 30D got announced. It is clear that 20D prices will fall quickly once 30Ds are available in the US. However, I have been waiting forever, and if you wait for the prices of consumer electronics to bottom out, you will be aiting forever. So I bought a 20D. Even though I would have rather had a 30D. And even though the prices are about to fall. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  16. I smoked for over 20 years prior to Sunday, February 12 at about 2:30 PM. That was when I fell off the wagon having quit about a week before. But since then I have not had a cigarette. It has not been easy, but I hear that someday I will think it was worth it. I cut down over about a two week period from a pack and a half a day to a pack then to 10 cigarettes a day. I had planned to keep cutting down, but I read a website about quitting where the point was basically that the only way to be an ex-smoker was to not smoke anymore, so I started not smoking. With the exception of that one bump, where a bunch of stress caused me to want to smoke again just to have somthing familiar going on, I have been able to handle it. Incidentally, I did not really even enjoy smoking when I get stressed out and lit up, and it did not help me relax or concentrate like I thought it would. Good luck.

  22. Yeah, that is a bummer. I have often thought we should keep a list of user names that we know are retired due to the death of the real person behind them. There are a lot of people who have posted here who are no longer with us. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
