@laffer sorry you missed it m8 but my golden rule on these things is first come first served and Zetro got in first!
as you can see my old friend alexh got me a regged whdload and it's now on my real amiga A1200 serving me well
Zetro is still getting the camera (posting tuesday) and in return he's getting me a cf card adaptor (as mentioned loads here on EAB) and a 4gb compact flash card to go with it so all in all i did quite well i am most happy with the arrangements!
good feedback will be left all round when everythings concluded!
