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
