Most of my comments regarding CR were sarcastic, we really need a "rollseyes" smilie here

I got my haircut this morning and did manage to read my way through part of a CR article on cameras. I must say that they were spot on with their thoughts on rechargeable batteries. It's just that everything is so clinical, I want more passion thankyou .

Then again CR supporters can gloat over the fact that in 57 years I have never ever had a toaster that didn't need babysitting.

Thanks for the offer to help re: picking out appliances Dan, I'll certainly take you up on that one although I do have high hopes that my major ones will manage to outlive me
