Made me smile, Ernie!

Glad to hear you're excursion into used-M8 territory had a happier  
ending than mine and that you're learning to live with the "guilt"!    
I tried to make the same move -- bought a used M8 -- but sadly the  
seller was trying to pull a fast one, as it had the well-known,  
infamous vertical line issue (a defective sensor). It took several  
weeks of wrangling to get the issue resolved.  The files were very  
nice for the few days I had with it, though: it did a great job with  
my Zeiss, CV, and even old Canon lenses.

Enjoy the camera and post lots of images!
