ah yes the slippery slope

dummies guide to tell if you are stepping up from being a basic collector 
and probably are spending too much time and money...

(1) you buy a loupe
(2) you finally track down (and buy) a scale cube
(3) you realise you need to upgrade your digital camera skills
(4) you buy an illuminated binocular magnifier
(5) you get into thin slides
(6) you consider buying cross polarised light equipment
(7) you spend more time at the petrology lab - hmmm - holidays next year
(8) you bash out a website
(9) you discover the joys of spam and nutter email
(10) you start to tell stevo jokes

rightyho - must be more signs and symptoms

Hola - oops thats supposed to go at the top but I always wanted to type that
