No worries, Lee... we're all getting older. I'm finding that quite a few of my warranties expired at 40.
And I have to ask my wife so often "when you say he gave something to him, who's he and who'd him?" that I've developed a knack for the confused-identity game.

Sorry for not replying sooner due to a minute notice for a trip that I was abled to grabbed a couple of pieces of clothing, a tripod and chargers in my hand carry-on bag and another filled with photographic and video gears without computer.
Thanks Rodolfo for the enclose qoute answer as well as explaining to DGC1 that my reply was in relation to the cheekily feigning innocence statement.
Totally agrees with your statement about age catching up with people over 40, especially when our mind is not co-ordinating with our hands when we are typing and the eyes were not able to capture the mistakes.

Personally I think FX is a crock of crap and only a stop gap until we can actually start taking decent photos on MF digital.
If you were given the choice of a Ford Fiesta or a Bugatti Veyron for the same price, which would you choose? Exactly.
Just like FX and MF they have their different application for different needs.
If I am in Bangkok, Hong Kong and sub-urban Japan I will take a Fiesta anytime because it can zip in and out of traffic a lot easier especially in Japan with roads built during the sumurai time, one might not even get through with a Fiesta. One would need an even smaller and thiner car like those only popular in Japan and no where else. This also applies to Series 1 when someone tells me that it was very popular in Japan.
But if I am in Arizona or on the Autobahn in Germany I will take a Bugatti or a Ferrari anytime because the roads are as straight as the eyes can see or one can floor the padel all the way down and only have to switch lane when one sees a dot on his/her rear view mirror getting larger.
Another thing is looking for a parking space for your Bugatti in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo will need a lot of good luck and $$$ (private valet only), where average parking space for a car does not meet the size of a Bugatti.
So there is still need for both FX and MF for the foreseeable future.

Observation for the past couple of days indicated that the D600 is really selling very well, with lots of DX owners selling their D300/s and D7000 bodies and lenses. Even FX owners are selling their D700 and D3/s for a D600 as backup.
These can be seen at used camera stores with some saying that they are not taking in anymore because there are just too much at the moment and they also expect prices to fall very drastically for some models.
It is a good time to get a used D700 and even a D3 at this time because they are still considered as very good and not only that the resellers are taking in the best of the best only.
For D3s the prices are still holding very well.

I was joking. But you need to learn some manners yourself or just grow an adult brain.
Good Die Mate!
Doesn't seems like a joke to me.
Maybe you might need a bigger brain than an ostrich yourself, which keep their heads in the sand to pretend that no one can see them.
Finally, with only 10 posts here and you're already telling people to have manners?

And you're telling me to "Die" and that's acceptable behavior?

Totally agree that is not acceptable behavior in most of the English speaking world, but in The Land Down Under, people do things and think differently because they pronounce the word "DAY" as "DIE" and greet each other by saying "Good Die Mate!" instead of "Good Day Mate!". At lease that was how I was taught to say it when I was working there.
By looking back I think we started on the wrong footing and maybe we should get back on the right footing and have some good discussions.
Cheers!
