Is the Witch Head a reflection nebula or an emission nebula? I'm just trying to figure out whether she's on fire, or just watching one (maybe next in line?).

I think if I could choose one, it would be your Leaf AFI7S that you mount on a Cambo view camera too. Better keep it locked up, HappyMartin.

Failing that, I'd probably fall back on my Olympus OM1 and hope that 35mm film always maintains a niche market (I like my EOS 10D, but it's my next DSLR that I'd probably otherwise choose).

I spent a week in Lesotho last month. Wondering around with the camera and when I got tired of that reading on my Cybook. Both my favorite devices and in the mountains with my favorite person, my wife. Heaven. Oh well, back to the real world.

Hmm, I think my computer would be the hardest to give up (after my PDA). How would I put those books on my PDA otherwise!

Do you have that phrase on speed dial or a macro somewhere.

My wife's borrowed my Cybook (permanently, I'm afraid), arguing that I still can read on my laptop. Typical woman's logic. She loves it, too (the Cybook, I mean). So what am I supposed to do now, seeing that I love HER and MY cybook.

Seems like I am forced to give up one of them.

That's exactly the kind of question a witch would ask. SHE'S A WITCH! BURN HER!

Are you saying that your wife is being unreasonable? Hmmm...perhaps you haven't noticed my current signature quote...

Hmmm...

1) MASSAGE CHAIR. I haven't gotten one yet, but am saving up to take the plunge. I can't wait to curl up in a ball with my Cybook and be massaged at the same time. Paradise in my living room.
2) iPhone, now that I can read eBooks on it. I'm not sure how long this has been possible, but I just discovered it this weekend and am very impressed. For those of you who are as clueless as I was: http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?F=iPhone_ebooks
3) Camera - digital cameras are the best thing to happen to my short-term memory.

My barber has one. While your waiting your turn for a haircut, just pop in a loonie and you get 10 minutes of massage.

Well, that depends on which I feel like upgrading the most, doesn't it? It's usually CHEAPER to buy the new tech toy tho.
