Kristin,

That was great to hear. I will need a new desktop at the office in a few months and I am loathing the idea of converting to Vista unlike it was aiting in line to be the first to upgrade to XP (which did cause me to have to buy a new desktop - but, that is another long story).

Gil,

The Santa Fe workshop was good in that in spite of a problem with the teacher, we had a great class and we forced ourselves to learn studio lighting on location without much of a lesson plan from him. We were at so many different levels and he was only prepared to teach an advanced class when most were beginners when it came to studio lighting.

And it was COLD for this California Girl - 18 degrees is the coldest I want to remember! Brad and Leslie and dinner with the was the frosting on the cake!
