One of the camera bag companies used to have an advert about a guy whose bag got caught on the towhook of a leaving vehicle. He chased it and found the bag in the middle of the road some miles away. Needless to say, everything was in perfect working and cosmetic condition, demostrating perfectly the magnificence of the protection. I'm not sure whether the guy had a pile of good luck, for getting his gear back and in one piece, or bad luck for getting it caught on the towhook in the first place. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
