Sorry to hear that. I'm glad I didn't post the poster, and if I have it I'll delete it.
Great photo though!

Yes, great pic. I have it hanging on my office wall. Just the pic, not the "motivational" poster.

The bar plug one I like, too. Here it is, cropped a bit differently:

I'm sure I saved it somewhere..

Hey Zorro, it was a Pentax K10D.
