It was just a little stab at humor -- you know, me saying what I
promised not to say. (I hate explaining my jokes -- so humiliating.)
Coming from a different direction, I can see myself picking up a FF
body, also when the prices get a little better. Maybe one day we
will effectively have met halfway across the great abyss that is
digital. :) I get dibs on the golden spike.
I feel fortunate to have snapped up my 330 when the price fell <$600.
I see that prices are back up where they were. I don't really
understand what is going on. These kinds of things don't usually
happen to me.
