Listen,

All TVs and most computers are going to 16x9 widescreen displays.

So where are the still cameras optimized for this format?

Where are the widescreen print and paper formats?

Pictures that don't fit your new HD screen are so lame.

Nikon's new P7000 has a 16x9 size photo.

Yipe! Not surprisingly, they don't even hint at the price. I suppose
this is somewhat like J.P. Morgan's famous reply to someone who asked
about the cost of his yacht: "If you have to ask how much they cost, you
can't afford one."

Agreed, and they are now quite old.

Cheers,
David

Mr. Morgan's response was about the upkeep, not the initial capital
outlay.

Was it, I didn't know that. Certainly not the way the saying is typically
used these days.

I thought it was about both.

Never mind luxurious yachts; at two or three gallons per mile I couldn't
even afford to run the million-dollar speedboat Senator Kerry's wife bought
him, but then I couldn't afford to buy one either.

Millionaire backing his Rolls-Bentley into a parking space when
a little Mini nips in and parks in the slot.

"Ha-ha!' cries the Mini driver, "the world belongs to the
quick and the nimble".

The millionaire keeps backing his Rolls and bangs the
Mini out of the way.

"No it doesn't". says the millionaire "The world belongs to the rich and
powerful. Here's my card, send me your bill"
