9/10, and like almost every one else, I too jumped the shark.

I'm with all of you 9/10'ers. I answered the hammerhead question correctly thanks to the numerous hours spent browsing eBay. I've never had to clean the sensor though, no thanks to Olympus' SSWF

Same score as, same question wrong as me. I've never heard it called that before as well. Oh well you can't win them all.

Windriverr and mseigafuse, you save my a... today.

I thought i was the most stupid one the forum as far technical terms were concerned. Once again i see that it is not just enough to have a camera and snap around. i most start to have some formal kind of education to improve on my skills. LOL!!!!!!!!!

I guess this shows that I'm an old guy. I knew the hammerhead but didn't know about the cleaning of the sensor (which also shows I'm a slob I guess).
