thanks Dan, and everyone else who has commented.  The popular belief is 
that the cost of digital capture is essentially zero, but this one 
might turn out to be the most expensive photo I've made to date.  SWMBO 
saw it and immediately demanded that once the R10's firmware is stable 
we buy a his-and-hers set ;-)

Merry Christmas and happy holiday of your choosing to all!
