Yes, Larry is a good guy, a veritable prince of a man, and a good photog, too.
"Power cycle"? What's that, turn the thing off and then on again? Boy,these
new-fangled terms!
I, myself, whilst waiting out the rainstorm in the grandstand, was approached
by a pleasant, but confused-looking fellow from Portland , a C-a-n-o-n
s-h-o-o-t-e-r, who admitted that frankly, he was mystified by his IS lens.
Well, I had my VR lens (LARGE, satisfied grin) less than 24 hours at the time,
so was a real expert, but we pidgined around...you know; me Nikonian, you
Canon shooter having many confusions about high-tech lens mojo...try pushing
this button...welll, hmmmmm...try that, one!
I told him what my owner's manual said, which would probably compare nicely
to his...providing he could read...and he left satisfied. We Nikonians just
look like we know what we are doing, (har har) are kindly, and have wisdom to
impart. Sometimes, we even do.

Subject: [ratpack] Larry helps a Nikonian
Larry and I were sorta wandering the paddock when a Highcroft team member came
up to him and asked if he (Larry) could help with a problem he was having with
his camera. Being the nice guy that he is, he stopped to look at it and we
suggested that he power cycle the camera. The guy asked if he should format is
data card. We both about shit and said, "NO!" I talked with the guy after the
race and the power cycle fixed whatever problem he was having. Just a story
about Larry being a helpful dude.
