Dear Uncle Dick,

Thank you, that has cheered me up :-) Sounds as though you have a 
serious camera there and a free language course with the newspapers. 
Bet your postal delivery man was suitably challenged lifting the 
crates off the truck.

Would be delighted to post some photos both of the camera and some 
taken with it - the belly dancers would be first choice ;-)

I guessed that you were waiting for a Shen-Hao and delighted that you 
have been so adventurous. The only thing missing is an integral seat 
for the photographer and some means of driving the thing around your 
studios.

Please keep us informed as to progress with engineering some light 
sensitive materials around the back end of the camera.

BTW - I arranged your cards on a fine mahogany table at the recent 
f32 Spring Workshop and they were well received. The offer of a 
special home page still stands.

Cheers,
        Clive
