Get a better indicator. Regardless of your background, intelligence, education
and interests I'm sure that you are ignorant about a great many things. The day
that someone versed in those things calls you ignorant, then smile hapilly; if
he calls you dumb or stupid, smile even more brightly for he's tipped his hand.

There are things that everyone is ignorant about. Knowing that film comes in
"positive" is not something that many people are in tune with, or care about.
Or really should unless they are photographers or working in a related industry.

Cheers,
Alan

Gordon, you need to get out more. Smart women are *much* more fun than
dumb ones. At the very least, they're a lot more likely to understand
the *good* jokes -- and most of them are better at the things we like
women to be good at, too, whether that's cooking or minding the budget or...

I think you missed the :-) at the end of that.

Oh . . . I was out with one a couple days ago. She held my utmost attention,
and she had great . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tracks of land (apologies to
Monty Python fans). ;-)

Yeah, I hate having to explain jokes . . . . . .

I am a very good chef, so I don't worry about women who are not so good at
cooking.

or minding the budget or...

Admirable qualities . . . surely . . . . . . .

Oh, what where we discussing . . . cameras prices . . . yes, that was it . . .

Used GW690III and GSW690III prices are now over the new price in Tokyo.

And used Mamiya 7/7II prices are holding steady.

So much for the "MF prices are falling" theory.
