Me too! (Copied from another thread)

Finally made my decision and bought this today, for $440 with shipping and tax. (MSRP $655)  The sweet part is I'll purchase a conversion kit for firing .22 rounds for the gun range, and the kids will be able to enjoy it once they get old enough.

Great card Maniac...I have one too.  :)

Great gun Rip, I don't have one of those.  

What is the deal with night sights?  Don't see the sight on the gun, were they separately packaged?

Maniac, I'm curious why you would go for the 256MB 9600 Pro, when I would bet that the performance of the 128 MB 9800 Pro is superior.

I originally bought the 128 MB 9600 Pro and was disappointed in it's performance. I went back and got the 9800 Pro. There's no comparison, in my experience. The 9800 Pro blows the doors off the 9600 Pro, at least in my experience.

That "color" was not what I had in mind, but I thought a few AH'ers would drool over it... you think a conservative person like me would own anything that has gold on it? ;)  Well, I do have a wedding ring I guess... :D

I got an un-expected Christmas bonus so I decided to get myself a Radeon 9800 XT 256MB. Hell, I figured I need to be pampered also.

Nice pistol Rip. My wife has a Beretta 92FS that is a joy to shoot.

It has manual everything just about, and auto everything.
I like the idea of a camara that you can tweak once you learn how too.
But if you dont think I should get it I guess I wont.

the manual f-stops and focus are great for giving you high quality pics.  but if you have kids you will want the option for auto everything, the best shots happen so fast you don't have time to set it up.



btw- nice piece Rip
