With all respect, Don, I haven't a clue to the item to which you refer, as I've had absolutely nothing to do with Nikon since a very unfortunate experience in 1977 compounded by an absolute refusal by Nikon to even acknowledge that I had a lemon of a camera. So, I have no concept of what you mean by a "compact flash receptor", I fear. One thing I haven't mentioned is that Nikon and Leica are chump change in the eyes of the current Federal Trade Commission, as it is now tilting headlong at the likes of Microsoft. So small companies like this might well be able to evade the FTC's concern as they fall below the radar screens. But a single complaint to them can get things going, so why not complain? Best, Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
