Any plans to get a second body?

If so, keep quiet.

Agreed.

Now we know why the lenses are delayed. The whole factory has been diverted to painting brown bits on the K10D body.

Thank goodness they are only making 5,000.

Hmmm.

Try this: "If I hadn't known the first thing about the inside of an Optio I wouldn't have replied." This is grammatically correct, but it suggests that you did in fact reply, whereas in fact you didn't. Alternatively, it suggests that I (GL) know nothing about Optios, but you have no grounds for making that assertion.

Or: "I didn't know the first thing about an Optio so I didn't reply." This is OK, but perhaps too specific to this case.

Or: "If I didn't know the first thing about an Optio I wouldn't reply." This is best because it suggests a principle - that you don't discuss things you know nothing about, which is most commendable. Unfortunately, it means that you don't get to practice writing very much.

G

Really? I challenge you to come up with a more helpful and practical suggestion than mine.

Try and sell it again on Ebay. You might be lucky enough to find a buyer like yourself.

G

We live in a throw-away age. Check Ebay for somebody selling one cheaply, and cannibalise it.

From Pentax. Their addresses, in various parts of the world, are on this site.

Look under Links.

G

Perhaps the best. But because it's not Photoshop, the Photoshop crowd won't agree.

G

I wonder if you have tried Picture Window Pro?
