I remember hearing a story once about Jimmy Carter on a float trip. A photographer for Time Magazine got in with a crowd to photograph president Carter at one of his stops along the river. Pros weren't supposed to be around. He was fine, hidden in the crowd until he turned his camera vertical. The Secret Service jumped him and took him away. He asked how they knew and they said that only pros turned their cameras vertical. Those guys don't miss anything! ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math
