That is very true.
At first, I went into a panic over the breach. Then I realized I had
actually bought that camera while on another trip. I got it in a pawn
shop when I needed a digital camera for another reason entirely, but had
left my own camera at home. Being the cheap bastard I am, I couldn't
justify spending the price for a new camera, when I had the one at home!
Anyways, since it was bought used from a pawn shop, I don't see the risk
to me personally. However, those ARE words of wisdom, especially since I
didn't realize there was so much information included! Thanks for all
your posts and warnings. Take care and I'll see that any additional info
is cleaned. Now, where is my pot scrubber????
Yeahright
