Hi alias :-) (Gary)
Sorry about asking if you were dangerous, the way the original
post was made I wasnt sure of its meaning.
Its a bit embarrasing to think that I've been in the computer
and networking industry for almost 20 years, and never been
on any photography list until recently, and even though I got
my first Olympus OM2 in 1982, I really dont know about others
in/on the camera scene.

It is labour intensive, you should try explaining the concept that
a website is a sales tool, and it won't make you a lot of money....
or at least not in the first 3-6 months, sigh, people still dont listen....
>I suspect the as-is language was in effect when you bought your T-45?
as-is yes but also told it was in excellent condition and worked but
with dud NiCads, which I was fine with, Mike shipped it with the
battery charger in one plastic bag (yes, together), in a box only
half full of foam bubbles, so the whole thing was very loose, and
arrived two months after it was supposedly sent :-(

Talking to someone else about tecknic, the upshot is, the closer you
are to the store, the better the service, ie, if you are in the US they
are probably great, all it needed really was some better packing,
and I could ignore the other problems.

Sounds like you are deserving of it :-)
> Shameless plug: I also have up for auction a few lenses

What I'm really after is a working T45, not fussed about
cosmetics or batteries, as long as it works.
Thanks for your reply :-)
Cheers
