Thank you everyone for your help with digital camera purchase!!

I ended up with this Nikon Coolpix L4 - got it at Best Buy for $149.

I knew I wanted to stay under $150 but so many of those cameras felt really cheaply made. In fact I had bought an HP first but returned it when I got home and realized that the zoom was digital (meaning after the picture was taken) and not optical (before the picture).

The Nikon just felt really well made and it took me about 5 minutes to start snapping shots of my cat. Even posted my very first item for sale on Ebay (which is why I bought the camera)

6. My geckos are more famous on DU than my cats.

Although, the cats are up here too.

4. but .. but ... would you ever sell your Led Zep on Ebay?

[LynneSin]

5. Actually yes!!

I really don't need those 4 copies of LZ4. I was trying to replace the one that was partially destroyed by flood waters and bought a couple copies I found for $1 here and there. I'll sell 2 of the on EBAY. Just happened that the Iron Butterfly was on top of the list and went with that first. The record is in excellent condition
