Yup - I'll be going to Adex ... most likely on Saturday afternoon. The
Adex exhibition is about 15 mins. away from the office -- oh yes, some
unlucky people like me have work on Saturday mornings ..  :-(   ...

I have no problems with Great White's - I've seen heaps of film footage of
them and haven't even flinched!  (Not really - but it sounds better than
'fessing up to the fact that when 'Jaws' was first released it was about
three months before I stopped putting a plug in the shower drain just in
case one was lurking in the plumbing!)

The Sony DSC-P5.

The entire housing was flooded - and the fault was mine entirely!  Mind
you,
it does highlight the value of a clear housing - providing that you're
still
on the surface!.  A couple of years ago - while diving the wrecks in
Labuan - I didn't realise that the Nik-V had flooded until I opened the
casing back in the hotel room.  (That was the time when guests in
neighbouring rooms demanded to be moved elsewhere in the hotel - apart from
one person who asked me if I could write down all of the words and phrases
for his future use!)  :-)

BTW!  Are you intending to visit the ADEx Show next week?  If so, call by
and say, "G'Day!".  I'll either be lurking around somewhere or other!  :-)
