Algernon, I didn't check the checksums because I didn't think of doing so. Have you ever experienced any problems with the download or are you just being very careful and professional?
Just being careful

Thanks Gwynn.... that seems to be the 3rd update for the
GPS unit

I've DL'd the PC and Mac versions to check if they are the same.

Edit: The contents of both files are identical apart from
3 hrs diff. on the time stamps (probably the OS's messing
about).

The SFV checksums are

FWDC209B.BIN 62B76A32
README.TXT EDC2FD97

It's worth checking the *.BIN file when it's on your
SD card.

There is a user on here with a telescope that he uses for birding, but I can't remember his name sorry You might find it via Google advanced search on this site and telescope.

He's posted pictures of his rig in this thread link on the US forum under the user name Squier.

Quite a feat printing off the K-5 manual

I'm sure someone will appreciate it!

I can't see how an SLT can be a DSLR? An DSLR has both components of the optical system going through the one lens and is all optical. The mirror in the Sony system isn't even a necessary part of the camera in the traditional sense. It's only there for the AF.... It could easily be completely removed along with the AF circuitry and a fixed focus lens attached to the camera. What would that make it a DSLR with no mirror?

One big problem with the EVF seems to be that it shows all kinds of text info and makes composing the picture different. It might also black out after the shot if you have the screen set to show a preview. Not used one so I'm not too sure about that.

My father always said buy only German cameras because they are
the best!.... so when I went to the camera shop they said that
Pentax was the best German camera... so I bought one!

It has to be an optical system. Reflex is an optical term often used in connection with mirrors on telescopes etc.

A Reflex Lens is another term for Mirror Lens. Nikon actually had a range of Nikon Reflex Lenses.
