Virus, at DEMA 2002 Hilton
Those of you who connected your computers to the Las Vegas Hilton during DEMA should check your computers for viruses! From Tim Baskin, posted on the uw-photo mailing list:
Just a little FYI. I was at the Hilton in Las Vegas this last week during DEMA. I logged on the high speed Internet offered in the hotel room. Lo and behold I got hit with the first virus I had encountered. It appears it was located on the hotel sever and infected any computer the logged on that had sharing turned on. My mistake. Luckily my virus software caught it in time. Just FYI. (I got a a derivation of the Nimda virus the comes from network connections)

Ikelite S2 Pro Review
We've just posted a review of Ikelite's Fuji S2 Pro Digital SLR Housing, by James Wiseman: "For a digital shooter who is 'moving up' from a consumer camera to an SLR, there will be a lot to learn but you will also literally laugh with joy on your first dive with this setup. The camera's instantaneous response when you press the shutter is like a dream come true."

Aquatica A5000 Testimonial
Todd Mintz, a frequent wetpixel forum contributor, has written about his experiences with the Aquatica A5000 Housing for the Nikon Coolpix 5000:
"I had read of Aquatica service problems in the past, but I found their service to be excellent. A new owner bought the company roughly a year and a half ago, and he has been working very hard to dispel these past ghosts. Blake kept me updated on the progress of the housing's development with both photographs and phone calls, and was more than willing to answer all of my questions. Aquatica's service quality exceeded my expectations."
