    Dude, you must have topped out the odometer, cause there's no way you're only up to #658. You must have gone back to zero and started over...


    I would have loved to have seen that...from the next room.

    I personally don't think there IS a guswife. Never seen her. Guy with a camera. You'd think you'd see a picture of his wife once in a while. IF she existed....

    guswife, guskid...noshing looks like in london but david, it's understandable you were distracted by post #555 in that game thread.

    ps: this is not the first guswife sighting, :nono you can meet them in this thread you just had to search using the terms "steak" and "andy" lol3.gif (i'm serious)...

    we also met guswife in the "tell us about yerself" thread in wideangle...

    This isn't one of those threads that dares to stray from the original subject (batteries) is it?

    No. Not at all. What I'm getting at, is how does Guswife feel about third party batteries? I'd love to hear her input.

    I use:
    Canon 800
    Canon 1100 x2
    3rd-P 1500 x2

    ... my 3rd party batteries were purchased from ACCSTATION on ebay. (www.accstation.com)

    They're from before the *really* cheap batteries hit the market.

    I hope this latest stream of exploding batteries doesn't remove our permission from canon to use 3rd party without voiding the warranty. (which I confirmed w/ canon before buying the batteries a year ago)
