Tank's
All I have to do is get through all the instructions.
Things that cost this much should not need instructions!!!!!

Way too many buttons and dials, even a tiny thumb joystick on the back .

Also I have to get a really nasty algae growth off my glass, won't come off with the magnet, I've been trying with a old razor scraper and even it is having trouble removing the stuff.
UGH, I must have MAG: Mutant Algae Growth syndrome.

Went over and registered on the ShutterBugs site, looks interesting!
