3 questions

I thought they had real strict import quotas on Americans, like you can't
just pack up and move to NZ...

Didigal camera--now that prices are under 200$ thinking of replacing my
sinkable OLYMPUS --would like to have micro option to use copying pages
from books etc ant to take pictures when Jeff cathes a fish--Dave Lewis the
camera whiz on FF@ suggest the new 5 mb olumpis--help and suggestions
needed

I would take a look at these two sites for reference:

http://www.dpreview.com/
http://www.steves-digicams.com/

The first one, IMO, does the best reviews of cameras
anywhere, but does relatively few of them. The second
is not as good but better than most and does quite a
few of them. The first site also has forums where people
get into quirks of individual cameras.

hmm...sounds more like a reason to go than to stay. perhaps a few of
your "close" friends could assist in persuading Dene of the substantial
benefits of residence in New Zealand. g also, knowing Dene, she'll
have numerous friends and plenty of tennis opportunities in a more
favorable and enjoyable climate than Wilmington - without all the
bulging population and traffic problems.

5 MB is probably overkill for use on the stream unless you're planning
on printing poster size photos - and I don't think the 5 MB cameras are
below 200 yet (though there may be some). I have the Olympus 300, water
resistant. It's fine for most uses, but the controls on the back are a
bit tiny. Invest in a bigger memory card than you typically get with
the camera - a 64k at minimum, 128k is better - so you can take and
store more pictures on those long trips when you are unable to download
the photos to a computer.


Questin Three-- What is a REAL indian ???? Goverment has a rule--creek
indian association has a rule---census bureau has a rule ---was thinking of
answering Font when he said I was not a real indian but was reminded of a
boss many years ago when i tried to get some attention by verbulizations--he
said " I would not lower myself by arguring with you."


You've indicated you have some part indian ancestry and, from my
personal observation and experience, you are most definitely real. good
enough for me and probably most others of reasonable or normal disposition.

Well, I dunno about reasonable or normal disposition, but as far as I'm
concerned anyone that's as quick a study on the ol' peace pipe can call
himself Injun anytime!

He can call himself whatever the hell he wants but unless
Indians have taken to wearing hoods and sheets the so-called
"Indian Joe" ain't no Indian.

Perhaps he was just trying to pass at the time?
