Imbedding a copyright permanently into photos is now possible. Just like shareware obtains for one acquantaince of mine $10K per month, so to could donations from people using photos from said web site. Food for thought. An update on my new M6 and photos taken. My sister said of some recent shots taken in Newport, "I am going to have to get a new camera. Those pictures are really clear." My response was "It better be, it cost almost $3 grand." Words worth waiting for. Steve At 08:28 PM 1/25/98 -0800, you wrote: >Jim Brick wrote: >> >> At 11:10 AM 1/24/98 -0800, you wrote: >> > >> >Jim, >> >Did you get the details?
