Ken - WELCOME...and where in NE Philly are you from?
I'm from Philly (the Lawndale Section), but left in '67 to join the Marines. I live in North Carolina now, but annually travel up there to visit family and get my fix on steaks and hoagies. My home (original home) is located near Martins Mill Road (as you approach Cheltenham) - off of Rising Sun ave. Wow...a small world it is.
Anyway, you'll love this forum once you get accustomed to the layout. I always tell people this because some don't have the patience to make the adjustments to anything even remotely different to dpreview - which is really a shame because they won't know what they're missing. I know, I was that way once...but when you finally get accustomed to it, you wind up making this place your home spot...and perhaps only visit other forums. You will see many of the dpreview regulars (old timers) here and they're the ones who usually created the unique ambience that "once was" dpreview. Times have changed over there, that's for sure.
So a big welcome and if there's anyway you can send me a cheese steak with sauce and bannana peppers via the private messaging system on this forum, I'd be indebted (and surprised to say the least).
Have a wonderful day!
