After a week or so, we got back our troops but no plane. Satellites have poised trucks near the aircraft as though the Chinese are extracting chunks of our secret stuff at will (reported in the L.A. Times but no where else that I could find), Please explain how you might respond at their court martials: "Explain to us, if you will, how you came to be the Captain of a covert airship off the coast of China, and, after an unreported collission, you chose to land your "secret" airplane on a Chinese island rather than at sea -- where no less than two aircraft carriers and five other U.S. ships were waiting to receive you ...?!" "On behalf of the United States I am pleased to welcome you all home. Captain, I understand that your poor decisions have forced the President of the United States, the Commander and Chief ... to "apologize" to a third-world country and that you probably have handed the most secret of U.S. technology into the hands of Chinese authorities .. How do you plead? Craig

Craig, I haven't seen articles on the Olympus printer, but I have seen the results at a store in Rochester, NY. The quality is magnificent, and the cost works out to about $2.60 per 8 x 10. The print receives a final coat of resin after all the dyes have been applied. This process will get cheaper eventually. I use the Nikon speedlight SB-28, mounted on the special bracket for the 950 (and presumably the same bracket for the 990). The zoom feature allows one to get good coverage in a room with low light at distances up to about 30 feet. This small size flash doesn't look very expensive, but it is VERY expensive! Art
