yes .. just checked that my one is MIT .. lets hope this one is improved. *finger crossed*

Well, at least its has 1 year warranty, so we don't have to pay for repairs if it dies soon... :bsmilie:

Just take care of your 18-200... Don't zoom in and out too quickly...

I think considering that there are 8000 permanent staff and 4000 contract staff, laying off 1500 contract staff shouldn't be considered huge.
