Hah! Yeah, vintage 2005. Wish I could get another just like it. Takes AA batteries, so quick to swap out in the field, and super low resolution pix that I need for my reports to keep file size small. I do worry that I won't be able to find a new cable if this one goes bad.

I'm pretty sure I still have a Mavica in a cabinet somewhere that saves photos to a 3.5" diskette.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

We should open a museum.

Or a landfill.

Damn that sucks. He did such an excellent job as Hagrid, though I don't think I've seen a character that he didn't do excellent with.

He was also quite the motorhead and did several series in the UK (Coltrane in a Cadillac, Coltrane's Planes and Automobiles, B-Road Britain) centered around cars/transportation. He wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty either! Not just a tremendous actor, he was (in a way) "one of us".

The only reason I knew that was we lived in the UK for nearly 5 years in the early 2000's and came across some of his car shows on the telly. They were very well done.

Since I'm not a Harry Potter fan (not my genre), my memories of Robbie all stem from his motoring shows and Bond films.
