Argh!!! (Heart in mouth moment)

I just dropped my c2000z ON ITS LENS! Gingerly picked it up and
the extended lens was sticking at about a 10° angle. In panic
tried to straighten it by hand - and it did! Popped back into
place.

Press the power button, praying everything works fine and the lens
DOESN'T retract - panic again!

Try pressing the lens inwards - another CLICK - and now it's
working fine!

Talk about scared shite-less!! At least I guess it shows that
they're robust! Seems to be working 100% as it did before.

(I've only had this thing for 3 days - bring on the lens armour!)

(for those of you about to say "put the strap round your neck,
fool": I picked it up from my desk, neglecting that the serial
cable was still plugged in. The unexpected resistance pulled out
of my hand - in future always pick up by strap!!!

(panic over)
