Jolly good. Bought (some) of the stuff I need today, forgot to pick up
bacon, though. someone please sacrifice a chicken to the postie-gods, so
they bring me new camera tomorrow

I would, but I don't have an chickens. Meanwhile, I have bought chicken
breasts and thighs to chuck on a barbie. ah, that reminds me, was going to
buy new wire mesh grids for mine, the old ones are a bit manky.

what yer got instead?

I've been on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7611151325

although I see that this has now happened:

http://ca.konicaminolta.com/index.html

which is a shame, they made some nice kit. I hope Sony will honour the
alleged 6 months remanufacture warranty, if I need it...

Plenty on ebay at the moment, and doubtless some good deals. Found a page
on Sony's site which acknowledges the thing abotu servicing customer support
for K/M cameras and stuff.
