Then other parts are not substantive, according to your definition? I
want to be clear before I respond.

Typical "Bruce" -- Hasselblad's DSLR bodies are made by Fuji (you know, it's
a >camera< manufacturer, not an automobile marque).

Then, again, we should all be eternally grateful that "Land Rover" (British
engineering, at its most abysmal) has refrained from diversifying into the
photography business. In such a case, there'd be more oil leakage than the
entire BP disaster has yet produced! (Digicams need lubricants, old man.)

Are you, perhaps, competing with Richard Anderson, for 2010's "Usenet Troll
of the Year" award?
