faster, smarter, stronger
Recently, I've gotten to know RitzCamera's website pretty well. The best part of their website is the LiveChat function where they have people waiting by to answer your questions. It's kind of like tech support on AIM. At first I thought they was robots, but I verified that it wasn't in the following exchange:
Me: I was wondering... is there anyway you can prove that you're human? Maybe by saying something that wouldn't normally be loaded into a computer program?
Tommy J: I would be glad to. What would you want me say that would not sound like a loaded program?
Me: If you could do anything in the world, what would it be?
Tommy J: I would make everyone a better human being....
Me: That's pretty ambitious.
Tommy J: Wishful thinking.
Me: I want to go to grad school to become a social worker so I know a thing or two about wishful thinking.
Tommy J: That is cute.
So every morning for the past month, I have patiently checked the RitzCamera website to see the order status of my out-of-stock dSLR camera and my out-of-stock lens kit that I recently purchased and have been eagerly awaiting.
This morning I was shocked to find this message across my computer screen.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Order Status:
Item No. 541535811 NIKON D200 W/NIKON 18-200 ZOOM KIT
In Stock - Usually ships on the next business day (Mon. - Fri.)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I almost peed in my pants.
Here are a few gorgeous Digital Photography Preview pictures of the camera. You can bet your bottom dollar that there will be a follow-up post when this baby comes in.

that last xray shot of the camera is neato
i like pretty things.
oh, cool slr. i think just got a new digital camera but i think slrs are too big and cumbersome to carry around. i'm the type that likes to whip out the camera and be so trigger happy it annoys some people.
Oh nice...that's the same model nikon we use at work. Awesome. - Craig
I have ordered exactly the same order
from Ritz last week. This morning I found Tommy J. who told me he was sorry that my order wouldn't be arriving the first week in March as initially promised, I had called before I place the internet order.
So are they all named Tommy J.
