Kit -

I was saying this entirely tongue-in-cheek! :-)   But if you want 
others to give, one must give first. :-)  Even if it's $50 a camera 
that's discounted at dealer cost, still to a poor starving student - 
that's at least 50 meals at Taco Bell.

I'm just brain storming! Don't shoot down my ideas just because you 
don't like them! :-)

p.s. I think there's a casino in Connecticut called that. Or was it 
Minnesota. I hear the jingle in my head even though I'm in Tokyo.....
