Well... furthermore our httpd logs are tellung us about 2044 visitors in January 2000...
well, if this is enough... I think this would be peanuts in the eyes of Primax...
But the new supporter at Primax is very willing to support us... (also CVS and so on...)
Let's see... at first we should really finish the D300 stuff...
then we should go the next step towards the newer models (D9600? 1200p?)
