BD, What the heck is a Tilley T3? Am I missing something?

Not a thing - as long as you walk to the grocery store in your Mephistos, your head covered with a Tilley T3, to buy them, charge them and sign the receipt with your Mont Blanc, carry them home in one of the pockets of your Domke vest, them down with a couple of single malts. Now, can we skip the Pop Tart thread and get back to photography?:-) B.

It was the early/mid teens who were most into big doses of multimedia - most other people click on another site as soon as they see "flash loading" or things whizzing around and twirling or morphing, while they figure out where the hell to go to actually get into the site So some people do like a big dose of multimedia, but only if you're 13 (or a graphic /web designer), the same age group/job sector with the highest WWF watching quotient and who devour the most pop-tarts and pizza pops .... something many people (LUG aside) grow out of. I enjoy watching such things for fun, but not for real life. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
