D70 - out of action

[Tom Edgerton]

Mike--

Thanks for the heads up on the battery. Nice that you only find out when you visit the Nikon website by accident, since the reason for the "voluntary" recall is that the !@#$%^&*(!@#! batteries apparently overheat and MELT!

They instruct you to remove it and send it in, and not put it back in the camera. They'll send a replacement, but you still have to return it via UPS.

If you hadn't flagged it, I guess Nikon wouldn't have informed me, letting me happily discover it when it destroyed the camera and fried my paw. This is my first Nikon. I expected better from these guys.

Now about the other thing....can I eat the fiber and still look at the dirty pictures, or are they linked?

Hoping for a loophole--TE
