OH you poor thing HG

Yup a fresh re-install is an excellent idea and you'd better check for other nasties too

This reached me about 2 hours ago

Parents have been w/o leccy for over 12 hours.

Best friend's wife works on 2nd floor of an 18 floor tower. Her desk is next to a support pillar; she has a photo leaning against the pillar - it's making noises as the building 'wobbles'.

Two downtown building have been evacuated - one building's brick wall is buckling.

And this is all in CLEVELAND.
and Cleveland is in Ohio - not anywhere near the coast !!

Well the Photomonk is surviving, and sent a message for Gwyn and others that remember him

He can't get to work yet , but this is far better [ as far as he is concerned ] than last year when he lost power for 4 days.

Photomonk is likely to be hit by Sandy

He will keep in touch as and when he can

It's been chilly but dry over on this side

I see from the Beeb tonight that up North it has snowed

OK, you've talked me into it. Although leaving the house in the hands of two teenagers doesn't seem conducive to a restful break.
Depends on the teenagers. We've left our house with our three when they were teens with no problems. My brother on the other hand left his house with his two teen sons for just one night and came back to devastation, a police report and neighbours who wouldn't talk to him for a year.

TT- say hi to the Photomonk for me. If I were going for a new camera it would probably be the K-30 nowadays.
Will do - will be chatting this evening [ my time]

He's looking for a new body - but I doubt it will be the K-30 He's using an Olympus at present , I'll find out once he has it - he won't tell me what it is till it's in his paws

If I were buying a new body - bearing in mind the dampness that seems to happen up here it would really have to be a weatherproofed one - though I do now have an Op-tec rain sleeve

Just been chatting to the Photomonk by Skype - he's at the PPE in New York today . He sends his regards to those who remember him.

He's now a Nikon free Zone

Was having a shot with the K-30 - seems to be quite impressed with it

Can't really complain - I'm only at 4mm [ well was in May when she was serviced ] and as far as I know those boots were put on after her Lease contract was up when I bought her 3 years ago
