Every time i think we take ourselves and our cameras too seriously i'm going to pull the pen thread out! Next time someone flames and it irks your day--read the pen thread. I've been rolling around on the floor laughing at the fact that apart from a MOOLY query, and Dick's R8 purchase (Congratulations Dick!) the 60k digest is filled with pen preferences and anecdotes. Having a great 'Artline 0.2mm' day :-) Gary ____________________________________________________________________ "Now, given that kind of time span, it's just not easy to think of Ned Lud as a technophobic crazy. No doubt what people admired and mythologized him for was the vigor and single- mindedness of his assault. But the words "fit of insane rage" are third-hand and at least 68 years after the event. And Ned Lud's anger was not directed at the machines, not exactly. I like to think of it more as the controlled, martial-arts type anger of the dedicated Badass." Thomas Pynchon Is It O.K. to Be a Luddite?
