Beware of Computer Geeks,
                I got stung. I purchased a still-photo camera from them. 
It had problems.
I went thru the motions for a return. They paid for the shipping. They never
responded, or returned the repaired camera.
                Yes, it was a bargain at $80, but now I'm out the $80, 
and no camera.

                                                                                                  
Caveat emptor,
