Surprise! Surprise!

Surprise! Surprise! I actually caught an advert on the TV last night from a local chain store (stationery and computers etc.) advertising Pentax K200D cameras for sale.
Perhaps Pentax is getting a bit of recognition in the market place. I would hope so!

wonder why I suddenly had a flashback to "Gomer Pyle, USMC"???

btw, you left out a "surprise"

p.s. yeah, nice to hear Pentax is getting some Ad time...

Sorry about that, I wasn't thinking

(btw: the thought behind the "Gomer Pyle" quote doesnt register with me, being an Aussie, I guess. Maybe I am of another era ??? Whatever

)

LOL! I watched those series when I first came to US ! My sponsor told us to watch lots of TV to learn English .

They didn't tell me that "English" is a few years behind

That was the "good ol' days" of innocent TV and the whole family watching together.
