Gene,
thanks. I hope you enjoy it. I still hope to be in Europe, but the plans are 
'weak' in that work keeps getting in the way

Cheers

Alastair,

Even though we are not home and will not be back for 6 months, I ordered the 
FOM2 book just now.  I am having it sent to me while I am here in Texas.  
Looking forward to receiving it, and will let you know what I think when it 
gets here.  I already know it will be a great addition to my library.  I 
hope you can make it to Photokina later this year and will look forward to 
seeing you there if you do.

Cheers,
Gene
