All the Leica server are down right now and you have to be preregistered for the Webcast.

And I assumed those that know are and it's too late for those that aren't.

But if you look under equipment you can see Links with prices for the M9 and X1.

here is a link

Y'all ever seen the move "Dr. Doolittle" with Eddie Murphy? John reminds me of that little dog. You know the one 'throw the ball.. throw the ball... throw the ball... throw the ball... throw the ball... throw the ball... throw the ball...' as he jumps up and down incessantly???


I can just see him drooling at the mouth while trying to get the words out... 'Leica... Leica... Leica... Leica... Leica... Leica....'


Sorry John.. Just had to poke a little fun....

I always thought the rumors that Dr. Pepper put cocaine in their drinks was an urban myth. Stovall is the only person I know from Dublin which is the home to Dr. Pepper and has the famous Dublin Dr. Pepper plant, etc.
Now I'm not so sure about the cocaine stories.

No, the secret of Dr (no period) Pepper is prune juice.

09-09-09 is a lucky day to the Chinese, like the Olympics start date of 08-08-08. I'm guessing computer programmers should rejoice in 13 months. Will we celebrate binary day, 10-10-10? Will we be on or off?

For 9-9-9 at 9:09 I took a photo of my building where you can see the 9th floor. Sadly, it is building 1, not B9.
