What a problem eh Walt? If your wife were not such a nice looking
lady, doubtless with a pesonality to match, I should recommend the
"missing in the post" line as well. Except that that is a lie and I
know that you are a man of integrity who would avoid lies, despite
your past in journalism ;-).
So you could point out the speed of the lens, the well-controlled
noise (because the 800 is bound to be a noisy little chap) or the
overall robustness (and therefore manliness) of the E-1 ...

"prevaricate" for its proper meaning of "speaking duplicitously"
instead of meaning of "procrastinate" which so many of my fellow-
countrymen wander into. cb
