Cindy, thank you for the compliment. As I told Lloyd, it seems that Ivan's skateboarding days are over now that he has a kids road bike. My 12 year old is learning to box so now that I have a better idea of how to post from Flickr, I will be posting shots in the Sony forum (a900) of him.
dmabry (as in Dale Mabry), I have an M6, which I absolutely love. Last week I held an old double stroke M3 at the Leica Store a mile from my home. It was a thing of beauty. If you have to have an internal meter, the M3 is not for you. Otherwise, they are built like tanks, and will continue to take a beating long after the digital Ms are cannibalized for parts or used as paperweights.
