By the time I got it home and dismantled, I'd forgotten what I'd done with the ickle bag.

Anyway, Fiona has sent me several dozen. (Thanks Fiona - a thank-you will be inbound to Blighty shortly!)
So we've finally learned how you got to make a mess of your port.

As well, you've learned not to grab a camera by the port.

I need the emoticon for an "Evil, winking, grin" yet again.

BTW, fully repaired and operating successfully? Is it? Your camera?

I assume Saeed's system was OK because otherwise we'd have well and truly known about it.
