I have taken a lot of closeup/macro shots and a whole lot of flowers.
All I can say is "I wish I had taken that one"
Breathtaking!

This could be more a problem with the web-page designer.
It sounds like whoever coded the page used a combination of HTML sizes (Very small, Small, Medium, etc) and point sizes (10pt, 12 pt ... 24 pt, etc)so that when you change the size of one (typically in the View menu)the other one stays the same size. My County Council has just gone Unitary and the website was re-designed (rather it was re-written without benefit of any design) and a very small font size used. I have to up the "Text size" just to read the menus. When I taught HCI, one lecture was devoted to the fact that the designer cannot control the setting on the user's machine - and should aim to produce something that was as *universal* as possible within available limits.
Remember when cameras came without any Diopter adjustment on the eyepiece? No problem if you wore glasses (and were thus corrected to normal, but a pain when you go outside of the design limits. Now I need a touch on the adjustment just to get sharp vision.

And apart from the above - we all seem to have missed one vital point:
The Pentax port in question is also a video-out port. It would need some adaption to feed a USB2 connection, hence the assymetric mini plug.
Makes me wonder if it was originally planned to feed a Firewire setup.

For another look at the variety of USB fittings, read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus
and note that I have at least two pieces of kit that have mini-USB connectors that are not listed.

The Pentax USB cable has "a" standard smaller end, but not "the" standard smaller end. There are several standard "mini-A" end fittings, and it is quite easy to get the wrong one (apart from some N*k*n equipment when it is very hard to find the right one. There are kits available with a normal "Type A" fitting on one end and a set of push-on "mini-A" fittings to adapt the other end. These can be alarmingly priced (over £20). Aldi sometimes have them in stock them much cheaper, but I got mine in ASDA, but it does NOT have the Pentax fitting adapter (what I wanted was a different one).
Try a Google search for "USB Travel Kits" or "USB mini-A cables" to identify the exact fitting.

Better yet, buy two. But I see that you could not resist buying two.
I use a G4 TiBook to check out all those URLs that look like they may be just a bit dodgy (I like to think that I can usually spot the ones that really are dodgy - and have a few laughs at the incompetence of some of the spammers and scammers)

Buy your protective films for the monitor screen over there as well. You could save a whole lot more than on the price of the camera. I got mine in a Walmart (along with some polarising filters).

In my case, it was a painting not a photo:
Caravaggio - The Taking of Christ
This hung in the National Gallery of Ireland, after it had been found and cleaned. It was in a medium sized room, with a Picasso on the opposite wall. The Picasso was absolutely stunning, but on turning round, there was the Caravaggio. I know that I stopped breathing for a time. The memory will be with me for ever.

You would be really surprised just how many web-sites will plant a doubleclick.net, or similar, on your PC.
Please, please, please, do us an anti-spyware program regularly to clean out all the cr*p; over about a month it can really slow your machine down. Personal recommendations are Spybot S&D, AdAware, SUPERantispyware, IObit security, as well as Kaspersky which I have not tried yet. Just remember that if you have, say, 100Gb of pictures on your C: drive, the anti-spyware program will search every file, every time - this will take time, and lots of it. Get all the snapshots of the family, etc, onto a separate drive (a partition or an external) if you don't want to leave the computer running while you go shopping, etc.

Don't get into Family History - it can seriously damage your health.
Not to mention taking a lot of time away from taking photographs.
