    The wost thing about it was that it arrived at 3:30pm, I started work at 3pm over an hour away. Of course my partner had to call me and tell me it arrived. Lucky me I got to sit for the next 8hrs and think about it until I got home.

    Here are sme pics. I only got a few before my battery died. Some of them are really grainy as I didn't always use the flash (too much glare).
