Alas, I check it every day, but there isn't much to say.  A few years
back it was a big help when I was looking for "pocketable" cameras for
my wife and myself.  (Wound up with Elph 2 and Elph Jr.)

Since not much new is happening in APS, there doesn't appear to be
much use for the group.  I still occasionally use the Elph Jr, and my
wife took 250 shots in Paris with her Elph 2 earlier this year, but I
guess those cameras are just "there" these days.

My latest toy is a Canon A80.  I've been almost exclusively using that
for the last six months, partly a novelty thing.   I bought a Canon
i960 printer to go with the A80, but find I'm mostly setting up slide
shows on a laptop -- that seems to combine the fun of slide shows with
the simplicity of passing prints around without getting fingerprints
on them.
