ah haaaa, waxing poetic won't get you off the hook George...

:-)

when I hear you lamenting about the life of the pro photographer in  
general, and yourself in particular...

I hope you can afford that S2...and I hope it will profoundly change  
everything...

but is that really what is "rate limiting"?

remember that every Tom, Dick,  and Harry....and Steve...

will have an S2 as well...


:-)
