I know how Marc and Sherry feel. An expert just cannot get any respect in
their hometown. Many times I have told my customers to do (or not to do)
something and they have given me that laughing, knowing smile. I wish I
could say they were as cheerful later on. I glad to hear that you have had
the camera so long that you can disregard advice from people who have
decades of experience and are trying to do you a favour!
