Genuninely Greatful

Now, I have to admit, I can sometimes find fixing friends/family/neighbour's computers a bit of a chore, mainly because I generally hate fixing computers, as troubleshooting can be a pain in the arse, and my own PCs usually present enough of a challenge, however this time was completely different :D

A few days ago a neighbour asked if I could pop around and help him with a PC problem, at the time I was just on my way out, so I said I'd go the next day... So on NYE just before I set off back for aber, I popped around as I had a few hours spare before I had to leave. Basically, they had a virus so I downloaded the symantech removal tool, and while it was running, we got chatting and I mentioned that I was on the look out for an old SLR (this guy has recently himself into digital photography) and he said, "oh I've got a few in the cupboard, how many do you want?" So i've come away with a camera I was looking to buy on ebay (Olympus OM10) and a Zenit-E russian camera... Bargain!

I think the OM10 has a sticky solenoid as it sometimes seems to have longer exposure times than it should do, so i've got to investigate.
