Hi Sonny,

I'm no longer sure when I'm on-topic and when I'm off-topic with this one.
:)

You are right; I can't rotate the display.

I have to say, I'm not 100% sure what kind of backup that would back up all
the settings as well as my data.

Also, I'm a bit short on storage card space so I'm looking at getting
another card or two before I do anything as critical as I imagine what you
suggest could be.

As for what may or may not be the topic of this particular thread -- I'm
lost now -- your preference sounds really interesting, and if my travels
ever take me wherever you are, you can introduce me to the finer points of
making and drinking green tea with mango extract and tapioca balls. In
return, I'll introduce you to one of the many varieties of Mediterranean
coffee if you like.

Shalom.
Christian
