non-consumer reports

1. [solved mystery and slightly cranky commentary deleted]
   
   
2. did some research on web, on those credit-card-sized digital cameras, & found
   a) lots of sites scamming Google by uploading stale pages every day (note to site owners: this does not generate goodwill)
   and
   b) Radio Shack started selling one, the FlatFoto, back in November for a paltry $80. And while it doesn't have a flash (as in bulb, not as in memory) still it seems worth buying/using until the flashy ones come out.
   
   went to get one yesterday, and found that no, Radio Shack doesn't have them anymore, that was just for xmas, but they do happen to have an equally tiny one for just $300...
